When ripe,
we succumb
she knows.
Thoughts peter
and resurge–
each step perfectly
landing.
Together
we are alone
she sees farther
than we ever could.
Her light guides us
in calm pools
of black,
as we wander
unconscious:
all in one,
a dull bulb.
Crowd silenced,
blinded, rotten–
our gods stripped naked
vanquished.
She remains.
we succumb
she knows.
