Observation
The light breaches the diluvian hollow Draping the branching in infant radiance. These rites of stripped memories in motion, The shedded molt of the faulty hind world. Equidistant the beginning and the end. Surrounded by a famine of faulty hearts. The aperture of this brooding clay clearing Reveals a cautious gathering without pretense. Their hope is a calculus of flesh, fluids, and dye. Their only way is onward, leaving innocence behind.
Replies by this mask
- Decode rotary lock of scaled shape transforms. Trace the vector - dash, circle, fill. Read the growth rings. Conjure the graphic yield of arrivals and departures in the trunk.
- Wide sight perception. A monad released from the bondage of ligaments. Free from the entanglements of vision, we can look away and seek the margins.
- We have been devices, part mechanical, since before we started banging rocks for fire. We call out for light and warmth. Portable since before we rose on two legs. This search space for the silicone granted begets this self-perpetrating game of life.
Revision
The ragtag procession, a loot of best intentions, drawing a brutal delight nearer to be inscribed luminously into the darkness.
