Beauty and shame
seeking relief
ravages embossed
with hunger and loss
sink straight up
while falling off.

Chaos in love
smokes out 
thresholds 
where she panics.

Love fostered 
is cursed 
with holy water.

Rivets compliance
into defiance.
 
Scales edges 
upon cradles of death
into scheming

and eternity 
into meaning.

And end games
send games
defend games!

Prick of thumbs
shareholders of blood
careening -

Bioborgs caress
as quanta leaps
bear out
the machine dreaming.
