City, i will conquer you!

I will take you to your knees

to bow before me.

I will know your hidden streets,

your alleyways, your reservoir

reflecting in the pale light.

Your inhabitants will know my

many names. You will be

patient before me as I

stab my quill into your heart,

to bring forth your pulse

and make you mine.

City, you will know me!

I will be your avenues

and gently take of your delights.

And when I am gone

you will remember me.
