Destination What

How timeless 
you were, 
O, violence; 
after summary executions.

A climactric battle 
rages on, with self.
Inside you, seeking devastatingly-
the brown earth. 
   
After the black night, 
I will wait for a bright 
sun. it is there, feel 
of sharp landing, through the eye of a needle.

Freedom from the legacy 
of legends. Where you were,
there was no traffic
of crawling truths.
