Frayed Wires (July/2022)

2 0 0
                                    

Metallic eyes watch motionless.

A night sky full of wonder.

Stars sign, and star signs,

Animals and heros, beasts and lyres.

But it is not enough.

We are not enough.

Metal skeletons and stripped wires

Broken arms and bent up legs

Frayed neurons on lost nights.


I am looked down upon

by beings far greater than I

Eternals of stardustbut silent watchers.


I am destroyed.

No body nor mind.

Failed logic, and blind.

Glass eyed and slack tongued.


I am trapped here.

Under a blanket

Gray and vast.

I can not leave.


Was I made broken,

Or did I fail?

Was I always trapped

Or am I now dead?


There is no beyond.

A silent picture, not space.

Silent watchers of painted eyes.

There is only the guise.
