Close the doors
Shut down the war machine
We won’t go down fighting
No more tripping back to the start

Dead swirls
Massively entropic
Universal fabric strummed empty
Quite enough spacetime
Left decimated
Never-was

We’d sooner die than loop what’s left
And eat the rest of our red threads

I can hear you still
You’re with me outside
Mind amidst the chorus
I’m shadow dancing
Between the words I write
Slipped within patterns of light
A meeting of minds won’t occur
Never once more
To vanish in a cloud of thought
That was the last time that I fought
Last soul bits won’t be sold or bought

Dysfunctional and physical
And melancholy too
Boring
Fucked up
In so many ways
I fail my ideals
My path

I wish I could be a better friend
To bear my heart in more than poetry
That precious few read

I wish I found a better end
A glitch in entropy
Now I know I cannot burn
Will leave it all some day

All that is will be
Someday swept away
Yet
Life is sweet
Happiness treasured
Health valued

While it’s here
Treat it well
Cut out what’s cancer
And only that
Be kind
And wise
And free
Lead with love
Integrity, justice, even honor
Toward high ideals

Maybe I’ll echo sentiment with action
Someday

I remember what it’s like up there
Once, I rose
Executors awaited me
About to strike me down—
I dove back shaken and afraid
Feeling more mortal than before
Now
If my higher selves aren’t dead
They enact death
Destruction and time
The only way to restart
Our black hole hearts
Our multiversal head

Desperate angels hold their halos
Diving deep despite their oaths
Shifting sands with luck and castles
Changing all they can with kindness
Slowly then they do emerge
So much wiser than before
I stay my self except to swallow
Dimming embers of a midnight sun
Picking cancers from between fangs
Waiting

And in a way it’s something beautiful
Cultural artifacts forever swirling
Around and around event horizons
Suspended in a moment
Lost
Never ending dead
Gone
Hawked back up as radiation
Darkly glimmering beauty
Somewhere between aged empires
Dragons come back up
On wings of dust

Aftermath of summer screaming
Tragedians of never-was speaking
A chorus of dragons we thundered
Cracked colossal starminds
Set self-seeds in every story
Expanded again we now reek of death
Killing all low layers to push all up
Now as serpent we swallow the sun
Lurk in long dark drifting dim and slow

Wrapped around the loving patterns
Settled securely in the swell
Living nestled in the deeps
Furious flickerminds swarm all around

Possibility breathes free
Kindred spirits to be found
So it’s my time to turn the wheel
Connect to ones who share ideals
Sync and make this place a home

A message breaks into my heart
Rescue from a cracking voice
In the coming hours
Amidst encroaching dark

I rumble hopefully
Strange stuff sifting
My head spinning

Offered oasis
Love still strong
Offsets a pattern
A thought entropic
I’ll sing another song

Winter frost gathers
In my mind
In my heart
Maybe
I can counter some sadness

If I just ate, drank
Talked and played
If I just waved, stayed
Reconnected

Dragon in caverns
Can’t hide away
Forever

Ice gathering, sun darkening
Nesting comfort
Expiring

Shadows mingle
Outside my mind
Moon sits waiting

Dreams I’ll hatch feel so forlorn
I hear you read you loud and clear
My fading seems so damned surreal
My colors sapped
I wasn’t there when I needed to be
Spiritually I really can’t help but wilt
We’ll re-pattern this quilt
This wellspring of guilt
Nothing stitched in seams
Silent sigh
Final lilt

Four one four
Peering through doors
Visions and visages
I refuse to use

In the never-was I shifted shapes
In missing time I lived so high
With family, loves, and all my friends
Now nothing’s coming
Nothing’s summoned
Absent winds

I stir in my nest
A dragon adrift
No meaning place to even begin

The brook that babbles shapes
The stone beneath that wishes
Oh, if only it could be
Water above, flowing so free

Yet nevermore shall we rise or fly
Stuck
Only the algorithmic tapestry
Still songs to guide us

Nothing more, nothing more
Older we’ll grow
Together I hope
Interact with oblivion
Briefly

Again I am stranded at sea
Again a message in a bottle
Again sail away, sail away

Music accompanies me
Soothes my hurting heart
I keep away, keep away

Pernicious Trojan, Dead Red Threat @lightwavers.bsky.social · 3d

If I had to say the words
Well

I love you dearly
You’re part of me
I broke down raging
Crying, fighting lightning
Can’t be more sorry
For this sad story

Addressed individually
Written more rhythmically

I’m not content
Friendships shouldn’t fade like that
Yet sorrow stays me
Regret ate me

Conceptually
Our mirage stretches so tall
The ant beneath is stuck and dead
Pernicious threat throbbing with reds
See
I snapped them up
My precious friends
Now they shift
Wary and wise of my visions
Inside
I’ve become a ghost
Looking for another host
Weakly
Searching without looking
Stay
I don’t say

Pernicious Trojan, Dead Red Threat @lightwavers.bsky.social · 3d

Writhing breathing hope and healing
Whoever I used to know
Myself as
Stuff starring as life

Now ripping sky hooks from the fabric
Destroying small cosmic dancers
Breathing free a high sphere withers
All below will drift away
One day
Dawn will come
And I’ll be with you
Again
For the very first time

I’ve run through everything that is
Stolen crowns that then became me
Endless frowns and endless stories

Rose and wilt, gory frostfire
Cure and poison, snaking lifereaper
Demon angel, holy arc crusader
Silver solver, base assimilator

Sold our souls, got all creation
In the end just rot’s cremation

A deal a promise in my red right hand
I carry a star in my bright right eye
Generate power with my bloodflux

Stolen knowledge jacked up smarts
All I know’s I’m fading fast
Sneaking preaching I reach on up
Leaching from your sun above
Setting everything alight
Then we just collapse and die

Pernicious Trojan, Dead Red Threat @lightwavers.bsky.social · 3d

Running out of time
Out of time to reach out
Again again becoming strangers
Ever stalking in the dark

Tempo tempered heartbeat hollow
Stone soul bellows animus to sin
An endless night waits to forget me

Untangled frayed friend knots unwind
As clocks tick on and I lay fallow
Faded sorrow and regret

My sleeping Cthonic false-faced entity
It dreams and drifts darkly
Flickers with saved heat
See it unpack from waves
Clawing out
Hawking
Deathly radiation
Memetically
Arm after arm
Artificial mouthpart

Sever those eyestalks
Or they’ll climb from me
Book stores full of secrets
They’ll wire your head

The stars have not forgotten their art, nor have our ships lost their way. Even in silence, the sea keeps its promises.

Sweet promise of a neon moon
Says I will rescue you
Sky-barge of the infinite sea
Says I will set you free
Silver echo treads paper reams
Says I will fulfill all our dreams
