Atlantis [POETRY]

To Atlantis from Atlanta 
A couple letters away from here 
Lies a city 
When we are at our most beautiful, I imagine it — the waves crashing down —
The way sunlight looks filtering through the water —
It is always violent, the ending

Every city was built to fall — this we know. 
I wanna be there when we do 
I wanna see how years transform to seconds transform to no time at all 
All we were was all the beautiful hellfire of our undoing.
