while this change washes you away
to a safer distance
lie down in the cold
let the concrete cool you
to a lower temperature
let it happen
don't struggle
transition and transformation
what was
hot to the touch
will become
something more calm
and won't expire so quickly
once bright and blinding and sure to burn out
can softly light your path and last unto always
...if you trade in your maniac love
you have to forget one
and then you can have the other
that's the deal.
a trade in
probably a trade up
your damaged and rickety something
for a new young something else.
just as sincere
just as serious
even if somewhat less satisfying.
