dawn has arrived in the central city

It took me 5 nights and 6 days
to discover Reason.

On the 7th i found the square.

The battles in the Central City have ceased.
This morning I found a poppy on the green lawn.

The soldiers have been chosen,
to fight another day, in another city.

With two friends, we captured the codes
wrote them on scrolls, and sold
in the citadel.

The greatest of Spartans came to read
and the power of their discovery
was handed don to the young ones,
who conquered 64 squares fearlessly.

My heart arrived bruised in the central city
and after hours I lost pictures of my shadows.

For days, i sought to recover the images,
while fire swept this stage.

A million hands have touched you my queen
as you move across horizons,
a thousand ears have listened to your orders
as you find diagnols to the stars.

it is here in the central city
it here where minds move mountains.

Bloemfontein holds our story.


Dawn has arrived in the central city
betrayal melts into waterfalls
crowns of kings, queens, bishops and knights
remain.
