The city is ablaze

in cool jasmine light

while I wait, tongue checked 

in jade arrow sight

-

I count up the hours

lived within great height

my chest feels weaker

in this jaded night

-

The jasmine lays fogged

no fear or quick flight

as I sit breathing

cross chest gone alight 

-

Call my name, siren song

Call my name in night

I wish to face you now

here in this stopped fight.
