i'll keep this narrative short
light to pass to make less
haste to what i seemed
to be hindering to chase,

you with your facades
me with my cascades
wavering from faltered
planks, decked
to be closer
to your horizons.

i have taken these
mornings, facing away
from sunrises
to bask in rays
behind new days

only because
of the concrete
that holds this feet
from falling

it's past that now
i have reached
in confidence
the middle again
an episode of a series
ending with a cliff hanger
you as a guest appearance
for my character development
