We went vast vibes
nested sounds
swaying and spinning
masculine energy
entwined in
symphony and dance
feminine energy
rooted in
pentacles and seeds
tides died, born again
dreamed of correlation
through interference…
diffusion streams
exploded vulnerability
created solutions
cold air masses
promoted division
of beams, but
invisible memory chip
extracted in consciousness
at bodiless times
keeps us connected
even
at distance
lurking at ichor
origin, kinship…
blood – not water
does cripple, break,
transform,
give a birth of new…
'transform give a birth of new' I love this last line
ReplyDeleteis this something like a link between the real world and technology and the unreal world? it's an evolution of sort.
ReplyDeleteA conflict I feel between technology and earth; one that spins out of control...
ReplyDeleteThank God for that "invisible memory chip" that keeps us from complete dissolution! Amazing images build this poem, apt ones for Halloween, but almost too real.
ReplyDeleteHumbird, I like the idea that what is crippled and broken can transform and give birth again.
ReplyDeleteThe blood of war..personal or otherwise can't help but transform things although the fight can feel endless..and relentless
ReplyDeletehopefully it does not take war to bring rebirth though it does often take a breaking...and out of that new life flows....
ReplyDeleteAlas.. it seems that we need to die before rebirth.. much like a Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteRebirth will come due, whether the earth is wiped clean to do it or not, who knows
ReplyDeletethis feels like "alien/robot sex/procreation/ conception....." lol i'm sorry but the mention of masculine and feminine energies, "keeps us connected." ichor, blood, and give birth to new...makes me think of those. a piece with a great mind behind it!
ReplyDeleteI really like the verses about masculine and feminine energy. The male dancing and the feminine rooted. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you have differentiated masculine energy and feminine energy, Humbird.
ReplyDeleteGroovy piece. Love- " tides died, born again / dreamed of correlation / through interference…"
ReplyDeletethe memory chip concept was rather interesting.
ReplyDeleteBorn to Strife and Contention
does cripple, break,
ReplyDeletetransform,
give a birth of new…
Good question. It has to otherwise it lacks continuity. Great lines humbird!
