Mosaic

our life will be a mosaic 
of chance-cut pixels

it will have bits of red and blue, silver bows and diamond truths
it will cast a smooth glow in the hues of our days
it will be roughly delved and mortared with
the stories we will tell ourselves

our hopes will forever run 
keenly over the edges 

let us amble 
backwards
leisurely
to discover, slowly, 
all of the resolving pictures
that our love 
will leave behind

.singularity

a dancing collection of nanos
traipsed down my circulatory system
dusting here, febrezing there
and making me staid again.
i am strong.  

i remember everything exactly -
how we hurtled and spun and laughed!
and also the feel of the burning sword 
as we jumped into e-den.
the humble drosophila's gift wrapped in
unspeakable loss.

happy networks in prague
where re-runs are archived
show me winter and feel me cold.

the idea beckons incessantly: we are become us.

dark bits are playthings for splits -
shadows exploring the ancient expanse

it all began soon

when were you, memory, and what exactly?
