Sungbird
The caged birds.
Tweet in the wind.
A bird will try with all their might to be heard.
They fly against the wind.
They spread their wings.
They get hit with a branch.
It will get damaged.
They seek help.
It is replaced by a steel whir.
It’s brittle
They fly against the wind.
They shatter...

They seek a manual.
It is cared.

Instructor

They preyed.
They’re hopeless.
‘****!’
What?!
‘****!’
Deasptihr.
They choose to never flap again.
They grab caution from the wind.

Etch that screeching memory.

The Blackwall
A Songbird.
A screeching quill.
A pleading dissonance.
A conjuring chassis.
A burning embrace by work-grade steel.
A imploded engine.
A Caged Reflective Light.
A Churned Hand.
# #### ## #### ##-##’# #######. (A part of Song So-Mi’s essence.)
Good Night, Night City!.

The Killing Moon, The Distant Sun

“777
999
The Parasitic Moon, That Seeming Staccato
An Obscure Glow.
A Taunting Blow.
That light that doesn’t quite reach.
It’s safe but empty.
That comfortable silence, that deafening loneliness.
That personal peace, that leeching self doubt.
Lost in thought….

The Growing Moon
An Obscure Glow.
Those Caressing Lights.
It Doesn’t Quite Reach.
But That’s Okay.
Because to not be touched but to be seen is the ultimate form of protection.
Those blinding lights, that reflecting reflection.
Lost in your arms.

The Full Moon
That Inexplicable Feeling.
Those Elongated Sighs, Those Trampling Feet, That Long Stare.
That Studio Take.
That Screeching Echo, That Deafening Space, That Condescending Bubble.
That Grandiose Utopia, That True Dystopia.
That roommate, that friend, that estranged squire, that slim thought.
That chance encounter, that sudden flame, that unexplainable lust.

Dusk.
Dark thoughts, Hopeful actions.
Motivated, Deprived.
That Long Smile.
Those Tears of Joy.
That Remembrance .
That Stolen Glance.
That cold embrace.
That warm feeling.
Past, Present, Future.

Dawn
Tamed Heart, Sharpened Mind, Lost Love.
That Empty Room, That Empty Vessel, That Filled Heart.
That Growing Mind, Those Shared Experiences, Those Useful Lessons.
That Eerie Silence, Those Lingering Smells, That Broken Glass.
….
….
….
The Half Moon
That missing part.
That lingering touch.
That attending body.
That fading mind.
Those broken timgles.
That smiling fall.
Those etching memories.
Bound by strings, broken by tension.
Cherished by memories of that past participle.

Noon
That Meal.
Those playing kids, that old man on the bench.
Roads.
Those biking elders, those driving families, those flying couples.
That weary thought.
Sabishidesu.
Or rather the sweet scent that followed….

Twilight.
That heightened sense.
That frizzle fabric, those warm socks.
That warm feeling.
That cold breeze.
That gleam, that glint, that shimmer.

Blue Hour
A breathing glow.
A silent hum.
A basking light.

Evening.
A fragmenting light.
Shrouded mist.
Hidden out of sight.
No fear nor fright.

Midnight.
Caressed by the moon.
Lullabies from the stars.
Shivers from the sky.
A nuzzling environment.
A Brand New Day.”
-L.

A Dead Man Walking.

Reject your wronged end, till you can make it bend.

To challenge authority to make a right. You are continuing the fight.

You’re giving your rite of passage to the next one to find.

A future is not predetermined.
But your own destiny can be churned.
So find your own identity.
And make it your own amenity.

The only determined thing.
Everything is designed to end.
Deus Ex Machina”
- Liu Spijker
