In every city there lies a slumbering awareness, a sentience of sorts, snoring its squealing tyres and screaming trains out to the sky above. The rhythm of its breath pulses, quickens briefly as the lights are turned on, then falls back as the pale enchantress replaces the light with her own luminous beauty. Footsteps spread barely a ripple across the placid face as mortal girl steps forth in a stolen moment dance, the hazelnut eyes shimmering in the reflected moonlight echoes the sentiment of oaken hair. The luscious waves rise and fall to their own seductive trance, slowly ever so slowly weaving through ranks with needle like precision.

Rapturous features radiant in pristine glory writhe gracefully as emotions play a symphony worthy of operatic wonder. Woven shadows chasing tails sprint across her body as a step she takes. Feet drift to the concrete below, caressing, enticing, stealing a kiss, and then flitting away to continue their hypnotising duel with gravity.

An arm rising behind melds the concept she must turn, sentience awakens motion, warping flight into return. Challenging the powerlines stands a shadow, subtle humour drawing the smile it bears into a larger seesaw. Separation so brief is forgotten in love-induced amnesia, the city awaits with bated breath of their imminent unity. Portrait-like they stand frozen, cold embrace inducing warmth overwhelming. Eternity sides with the city around, sharing a joke that mortals cannot comprehend, hands fall away to sides then unite. Parallel they wander till fire again wreathes the sky, entwined endlessly an unbreakable bond.
