a single ping heard across the sentient mindscape
Tag: Singapore
pale skin rusts and names melt into ash
in a hideout void of rime feeding ghostlight to the wounded satyr
shed silence like a skin still warm
in sympathy with old machines bones hum
limbs recoil at the first sunrise in days
sleep beneath a broken engine dreaming i am water
craters bloom moss cushions the rainfall
fungal veil a cathedral roof pulses quiet light
before dawn the fathers of night would trek across the sky extinguishing starmites none would be allowed to outshine their child the moon blinking stars are the battles fought and the ones who still shine can only count their days
