And from the blur of city lights
Swept away through the bustling city
she stood
A red raincoat, and beneath it, black hair
stuck to her face and rested on her wet cheeks and shoulders
He took hold of her hands
"You're cold"
She nodded
"I know, they're encrypted with ice"
He looked down at the hands that quivered,
usure if it were his own
shards of ice falling beneath them
washed away from the rush of water
and drowned out by the thunder
"Can't you hear the crashing?" she lifted her face towards the sky
"Can't you hear it breaking...?
The chaos is as steady as my heartbeat."
He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around the frailty, "Heartbeat or break?"
She rested her head on his chest, "In all certainty, both"
