I have perfected it.
One cylinder for both my eyes
To see–
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
The kind of thing that walks on water, the feet
Untouchable as the thing behind the screen,
The eye
Unseen
The face an absent, wax
mannequin doll.
Melt down the vinyl
My candlewax husband
(Do you trust me?)
[Will you] Endow me with the sockets of your eyes?
The beds of your nails?
The end of your roots?
Your sour odor
Will be remembered for eternity,
eternity,
eternity,
eternity,
eternity,
eternity,
eternity
In time, the skin on the candle
The pungent breath melts will start
To consume
all
in
its
path.
And I will be smiling.
I am far too young to die
At half a milleniummillennium.
Soon, I will cut everything in half.
How wasteful
To allow such undivided oneness to reign.
No more itself-ness necessities.
\Chocolates\ broken \up \into \twelves\
Shared among many
Who watch me unwrap myself
Fresh from the factory:
“Ladies, gentlemen,
Here are my glass eyes
My mechanical limbs
My clockwork hands.”
“I work, just like the rest of you.”
Divided and united into One Master Piece.
This product was no careless calculation.
~They steamed out
The loves in me they deemed impure~
I was so pure and empty after that.
Pure and empty as a vacant bell jar.
This time, I responded when they called
And called
and called
and called.
Breathing
Is a privilege, abused by all.
Only those such as I know how to do it right.
I breathe so that [It works.]
I breathe so [It will not burst.]
It’s not every day
Perfection comes to life
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>And stays that way.
It is too sacrilegious to share It among men.
It is too sacred to [keep It to Itself.]
Didactic.
Fear insolence in the stark black night.
I do not visit the same place twice
For mere amusement.
“A clockwork angel!”
The cry stops me.
The deadened cry.
The memory of a whimper that squeaks
—————————————————–> On the surface of my bronzed metal skin.
Indeed, it does linger for eternity.
And it grows LOUDER
and LOUDER
and LOUDER
and LOUDER
and LOUDER.

A pile of nothing, of everything.
Now soft and malleable enough to to mold into a thing of organic means, of something filled, changeable, of something that breathes and moves with a purpose.
Ah, ah, ah.
I wake with laughter, with water bursting from the cracks in the eyes.
Clockwork hands with birds on the fingers, bronze limbs covered with tenacious ivy, mechanical lungs full of impure breath.
Dear men, Dear angels,
This is the beginning, this is the beginning.
Do not compare. From a pile of nothing
>>>>>To a silent prayer.
I embrace ONENESS with a lungful of air.
