The fire inside of him quells the dark
and empty recesses of cold regret. He lives
again himself, at once a man and more,
a man with part woman inside him. The tower
was in his mind, was his mind, and she
was the force of life seeking wholeness,
a soul neglected. Now he knows. She rose
at the sight of another resembling what she
aspires to be. She tore and burned the tower
to get free. Now she is free.
She brings herself into alignment with her guide.
She guides him too from time to time.
