I/O

My cerulean dreams and rainbow dawns

Are more or less real... more real than the 

Ruins we made all over the place.  Consider, the 

Fractured mind of the Hive, relics hidden

In dark alleyways and soured wells, washed

Away in the Storm, stolen into deepest nests,

Ground and mixed into holy salve,

Devoured by the Bottom-most feeder

At the end of time and space.


Yes, my truer dreams usurp the Real,

For LIGHT, bought and paid, courses through

Pixelated pine forests, mpeg meadows,

Thundering down static falls, screaming

White noise

Random

horrible

Pooling, eventually, behind the gates.

Rejecting eternal anonymity in favor of 

A more recent, inflicted order.


Our consciousness awaits.

emptied

it didn't rain like it should have 

when you left 
i broke all the way
Down.  
Down.
Down to the bits and bytes
electric scramble
so, if only the rain had come
i'd be moved along
seeded by the right hand of the Father
to all things that were made.  But
when you left i learned,
in the meanest way,
there is no more rain

Aether

Invisible-

Oh Make me

The Wisp-of-no-Will

The cloud-nothing


Shall I be Breath-

the very air-

Immortal, yet 

set betwixt these mortal pistons?


I am suffocated- 

denied my Self-

Like water grown stale

Devoid of memory


I am pure pressure-

Mechanical 

Inorganic-

Unbreathable


I am unlife, unlike You

So why not make me

In Your Image-

A Cloud-Nothing?

Cor Cordium

Cadaver world, speak up!

Your heart is on the table

They're going to study it

Pick it apart

See how it worked.

What will they find?  

Just the standard, you know

...emptiness?


Four rooms:

Two to accept what needs to be accepted:

 The nourished and the starved.

Two to give out what needs given out:

 The spent, to be reborn

 And the reborn, to be spent


"The heart as an empty vessel

Is prepared for honorable use

Is set apart; Is holy-

Ready for every good work."

What say you, cadaver world?

Your heart is on the table

Is your emptiness standard

...or holy?

Rayleigh

 I break

All over again

The black rocks

The moonless night

Integrated.  Unholy.

Just once, I pray:

Let me be 

Light!

So that when I 

Do break

I am seen.

The bastard sky

running unopposed

through me


Scented whitewash

fenced in, so very safe

fit in, you cog!


Candied vapor

by the Ganges

soap enough for the masses

writhing in purity


My Gift to you?

The Weight of all things

Life... is a Gift!
