Becoming

stillness becomes the night
place becomes the apple
clockwork becomes the habit
gardens become the music
method becomes the monarch
ships become the sphere
rank becomes the stage
steps become the range

stillness becomes the night
night becomes the place
place becomes the apple
apple becomes the lace
lace becomes the clockwork
clockwork becomes the sphere
steps become the ship
method becomes the fear
