Traces
I live with my past on the surface We turn inside out and outside in again It’s not a thing I haven’t seen before I came, I heard and saw you More bare than this old scratching pole Sitting in the corner silent With that blue glow to your face I still don’t know If […]
Future Diaries: She, Robot
I used to be creative. I used to make music, construct images, to write, to draw. I used to have a thirst to learn. Now I am petty and self absorbed, I have turned out just like my father. I am a one dimensional character paralyzed by self awareness, full of self loathing. But I […]
Jumpsuit
Locked so many eyes Turned away that many signs Exorcised most feelings And simmered down the tides too high Returning greetings from white knuckled fists Buckled daily, but did not return Faced straight to what the crooked say To reach a resolution, one is patient Must wait through, ’til crack of day I’ve locked so […]
Wearing Hides
Down at the fork in the road you are damned Internalize or break law in symmetry, Follow fate safe along these parallel scars, of past in present Inflammation lingers longer, it will linger tightly, a reminding message It’s predictable on you Be the better man, girl Retribution, it bears broken teeth Your mother told you […]
The Mountain
Floods the river, caves the mountain Dragging out these fantasies of disappointment Follow me out by border’s way Passive, marching by my side Cracking strata clears a stage for two Guilt is green, as I am clear You’re colour blind and I can’t hear Ignorance is bliss War is familial Hands will tear At those, […]
Atomic Man
Stepping stones appear in muddy waters Step by step with limited vision Step half-man and walk obtund Breathe in through your iron lungs Between the eyes of jury duty Chosen ones of convenient suiting Bound possibilities by book read of recessions In the dirt His brain is losing its last depressions He walks, he runs […]
Next
Yank my chain down to a Path further down the flowchart As we look over our shoulders Wondering what could’ve been if we had Acted accordingly to tradition not Fragmentation of the backwards tracking mind What if What if What if Pathology of action is a pathology inside An obsession by impressions caused by Fragmentation […]
The Family
In the shadow of yesterday’s man is one side of us A binary game of snakes and ladders tempting fate Murder business mid-wives, freed from agency at one incision Stretched skin tanning, splayed upon a rash decision Through burnt lips we have drunk the broth Through eroded teeth we’ve lost control Chew what’s left that’s […]
A story without REM sleep
If you could only see what I can see Black mirror mind, if you could taste the air I breathe A sight photograph, artefacted lost moment in time If seen through the heart of an Iris, inversion The price is increased as it flees, eye of mine Through this abstraction layer you too can see […]
The Black Box
Birds fall out of the sky all the time They might love and they might cry Seasons change, it doesn’t matter Birdies never say goodbye When Kodamas mourn inside Free of mental ties that bind Going backwards not in numbers Debriding holes inside your mind Birdies fly and birdies talk Prisoners chained to their yolk […]
The Door
As I sped down the hallways I am terrified, terrified Two more stories ’til you see the door Running terrified, terrified Are we part of the system Birthing us to our doom Smoking mirrors they show us Brothers and sisters Reeling in chaos Running back to our tombs As we sped down the hallways We […]
Yellow pavers
Autumn leaves trickle down like bile Bloody bandages on trees Yellow pavers line the pathways Where we learnt to practise our disease As we are tearing through the rubble Wiping off the dust of shame The mob has found a perpetrator But only dead are here to blame Potholes fill the barren roads Where toy […]
Future Diaries: Esrever
I dashed quickly out of her greasy hands, past the bodyguard onto the street, zipping my jeans back up under the floodlamp behind my head, unsatisfied. The rain, backlit begun vacuuming back its own tears in reverse as underneath my feet, the water was gluttonously purged out by the storm drain. Innocence was gained. Time […]
421
Of the Eros and Ego, an urge for construction The defective goes by his own hands The superior prototype fears death As weak of strong will, plead for destruction Short tooth cuts itself on long days His darkened skin’s been burning for years Illusory desire flickers fluorescent He sits on the corner of bed, undressed […]
Glass of Water
In slow motion Two eyes widen A glass of water hits the floor And we’re moving with slow notions In a wait for something more
Future Diaries: Mirrors Pt.1 – Introduction
“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” – C.G. Jung When somebody fantasizes about an illegal action, are they a criminal? When an undesired individual features you their sexual daydream, outside of your own control, with no authorization, is it a […]
Future Diaries: One connectome under ode
One connectome, one mind. We are the future joined by experience. We walk around, and talk and see as future predictions derived from similar neural maps, guiding us in a semi organized crowd to the factory where we tie shoes. We have in fact become better than automatons in the third world and life is […]
From near as from far
The first photon seen in life Made of love born of violence And sheep clothing of determination Zoom out, it’s like a fractal Even a virgin’s teeth Still live between the lips She is beclawed By inheritance, hips mortal When the first half of us Swam to a new home The unlucky drowned headfirst Burned […]
Tunnels
The light at the end of the tunnel will be a train At which point you will wake up a second last time If you trust your eyes You’ll live If you trust the Logos You’ll prosper If you trust Logic Blindness and Hope will both perish Salome came of some 205 pages in a […]
Ganymede
I was Ganymede of Galileo, not of Zeus, protected by a battered skin in pits from disease of the body and glacier scars dragging across the skin from disease of the mind. Scratch the insect bite until you break skin; the itch has now gone. The insect has not. You will wake up again, unremarkable […]
Spaceman
Sleeping like a nomad at night in the international space station, they said you hit the ground headfirst if you don’t start by aiming at the low hanging fruit before flying out to Mars. With memories fragmented across the universe, past times are still well versed in all our worlds, alas the singularity may only […]
Mono
The more sources of light beam to illuminate your sides The more shadows will stalk you on the way along your strides Solo, duo, trio or quo, we are limited To seeing only mirrors of ourselves
Youth
Her eyes glimmered like green marbles rolling across a classroom floor. It was a memory that left me bruised – like the knees under her socks, which were covered in scrapes from blissfully playful and carefree ignorance; those first few strikes of exposure to the outside world. Her cracked lips smiled at me awkwardly from […]
Smoke and Mirrors
If our minds are comfortable and uninspired we will remain unevolved, like Southern marsupials, free of competition, inside a vacuum, too stagnant and stale to encourage change. For change is a forceful, effort-requiring utilitarian behaviour. For change is the reaction to discomfort. Few have enough intellectual discomfort to experience willpower. We will continue to look […]
