the first time i saw her
the very first time
a myriad of things
ran through my mind
the world slowed
it was one of those
rare moments
the kind you remember
the rest of your life

a distinction level event
an extinction level event

because who i was
prior to seeing her
was forgotten
all that remained
of who i once was
scattered to the four corners
of the circular room
now i was reborn
transformed into the man
i wanted to become
need to become

her’s
