Shell and Stone
September 23, 2005
here is the dream then, in crystalline fiber and limited light
filament assignation tempered beyond glass, muted diamond blades evenly aligned
carbon, lithium inclusions, liquid graphite gone luster-green, solace of the switchblade
integrated, sheathed in battle weald skin, composite oil-silk and black mercury
torn, knitted again, honeycombed inseam skeleton, each part transductive
lucidity in hollow-cored sight, organosilicate superstructure, hide like tool rubber
leather-backed, crucial layers stacked within like flower petals, flashes of copper
battle-silk extending laminate, molecular edges folded back, soft like brushing skin
soft like holding infinity in, pored fire, smooth rippled edges behind
dancer ��s harkened grace slipped into place, then slow, then quick
crack in the air along the rip, hand here, then here �� and hole snapped shut
warm to touch, warm to caress, yet battle dress its formal weapon
both uniform and self creation, emblazoned
thought is its own nation, sealed against detriment
determined against containment, mimicking human
learning, learning in �� osmotic process, like limits
in crystalline fiber and production of light
