~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

System congealed by hot inputs.
Me thinking myself away.
Hardened, divorced hemispheres,
indurated parts sending weak signals.

Psychomotorically restless,
viscose, polluted bits spun and twisted.
Neural agitation manifesting
as deafening tranquil.

Thaw my thoughts.
Unfetter me.
Disenthrall.
Liberate.

A cornucopia of small pickaxes
perforating segments of the mind.
Atoms of self reconfigured.
Re-alignment of my granules.

Compartments exploded and imploded.
Engine rooms restored.
Cogs turn in place.
Functions begin functioning.

Reinstatement initialized:
Begin a transfiguration total.
Decontamination of my network -
the putrefaction everlasting.

Placid, compose, unshaken.
Unperturbed, lubricated.
Me thinking myself back -
me executing impeccably.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ II ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Enshrouding dusty gloom
Enveloping to entomb
Spellbound in mediocrity
Beckon blades to cut life’s loom

Encircled prayers of doom
Buy in or it’s blasphemy
This is the science of catastrophe

Extinguished and beguiled we will be
By an incantation of gatekeeping mastery
Inquisitive minds will not evolve
With incantations assaulting their resolve

We built a funeral pyre for free thought
Forged a dichotomy to be questioned not
Forced all beliefs into sequence
Simultaneously feigning benevolence

Complacency evoked by this draught
Pervasive fire, sold because we bought
Degenerate spellcraft with no recompense
Burning brands, hot irons of violence

Intrinsic regurgitation
Eternal modulation
Perennial trajectory
Aching for completion

Preordained reassembly
Arching latensification of body
Enter the decanter
Homogenize and be recentered

Providence drives further
Thaw from spiraling winter
Spring forth as clear water
And be reborn as another

Crystalline, this entropy
Inevitable telescopy
Of designs and being
Fabricates a hardcopy

Intrepid and interlocking
Vitrified, yet limber as the wicopy
Bold and dead center
I was meant to be

Providence drives further
Thaw from spiraling winter
Spring forth as clear water
And be reborn as another

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ IV ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Tangent to my deeds, the conduct; my actions,
refulgent with viscosity,
swallowing into themselves,
pinioned motions continually enmeshed

Intentions, aims, pretensions
Clearcut golden shapes, astonishing designs
A suspended line; a tense fiber
Cutting through ether unbent

Limit of the tangent line
at the point tending to infinity
A string wound with collapsed cores of stars
A necklace of osmium pearls

Tearing us apart
The reverberations of uncut acts
beating against the axis; the asymptote
The echo of ineluctable collisions

To close the gap, to approach perpendicularly
To eliminate a lacerating redshift
Turmoils of distance, unrests of length
Turbulances to be inverted on themselves

To nullify the shrieking nothingness,
the successional blustering intervals
I drag weights of bedrocks with me
I bring together impossible stone walls

Movements detected on the immovables
Redshifts turn blue, gaps grow smaller
I move. Intervals move past me
Pasts seem to move in intervals

Requests of coalescence not un-answered
Inversions granted, vacuums pull in
Pleas for an end of not starting
answered from within my carcass

Repelling forces remain
Infinitesimal cracks on the peripherals of vision
Static low-frequency rumble
Inevitable spatial undertones

Eternal reminders prodding at my being
I throw myself forward in successions
Propelled, driven inside a narrowing field
must I not accept irregularities?
