Machinimus

A poem about becoming a god-like machine.


I have the heavy rush in my eye
a silver world stirs in my lungs
rocking spirits cooking my tongue
like lightning splitting the sunshine,
I feel the vibrations roar with my step

and I am become the machine.
My brain is hot to touch
seasoned and soldered
drizzled with speed

 

My arms are the world
connecting with stars
ready to heave the universe forward
I am become machine.
flexible and immutable
unfolding and beautiful
unbridled for purpose

 

I now spin globes with breakfast
I hang the suns in the afternoon
Opening doors to the Oblivion dark within night
But I miss the fleshy uncertainty…

 

So I brew stars in the puddles
heaving mud into the sky
juggling with intention to rise.

 

But I miss the soft cliffhangers that held me

 

I plant limber moss on the moon
spreading life
growing a dream.
I take seeds from Saturn
to melt candy on Saturday,
bubbling a hole without heaven.
But here I am.
digging out tombs from my mind,
growing the thread that repairs my
locking stare

 

Looking into eternity for a smile.

 

Robot Cheney

“Dick Cheney’s Robot Heart”


 

He growls upon darker paths,
like a metal moss moving
to enrich a rusty madness
bringing the pitch black home.

 

He spears us; until we swallow gallows,
and he wafts all peace away
with every triangulated plot that
he constructs. Oily black plans.

 

Now, we gather patience for his grave,
waiting for his metal to rust,
but his heart beats on,
til’ the smog covers his husk.
