It crawls down from the attic when it needs to feed. Moves toward my bed while I shake in my sleep. I wake up from a blood-let dream, and static blurs out everything. The colors leak into puddles that stain my feet. I watch a screen that's stuck buffering and ask what's reflecting if it's worth it to be when my heart beats this thing that stings. When foaming fangs have a taste for me, and this sick feeling's got a hold on me*, when every inhaled breath goes down like force-fed sand, can I trust what speaks in my head? Throughout the nights that I've half-hoped to choke on my own breath, but then woke up again, propelled by something in my chest that streams this waking dream through every part of me in hope to put some color back in these transparent things. And I'm afraid that the puddles will swell above my mouth and drown what's left of myself. But I can hear it echoing: a stubborn pulse, this last ditched belief in buoyancy. If it's pain or sleep just let me bleed. *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFavHg7v2V0

Machines of Love and Grace* I'll trade feeding memories to the grave for one candid smile fixed in retina display. I want a soul stretched over silicone nodes, something to hold that won't one day let go. To trade the fate of our numbered days, the borders wrought in DNA, and what lurks inside this heart for soldered circuitry. While lust for life withers with time, analog hands and rubbed-raw red eyes re-scroll through feeds along the self-checkout line,longing for more than what's beyond the exit signs. Is the sum of what my senses read back to me a holy portal or a broken, bent wire sieve? And what does it mean as our own image seeps into the dreams of android sleep? To trade the fate of our human being and re-plot the stars in binary. To measure, code and decimate what's beyond the reach of this outstretched and shaking hand. *https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zlsCLukG9A
