Warm gazes gone by,
(Dissolved in eyelash flutter)
Brush of soft lip in a
Kiss, tied up in arms)
Depart.
All depart.
Untangling threads of heat steam
Breath, (heaving chest,
A sweet suffocation of
Flesh on flesh and…)
Release.
Float down separate streams.
Pulse slows.
Short circuited wires
Dangle limply,
Ticking burning out shells of
Organs wallowing in their
Meaty blood wombs.
Tender wounds remain
And lingering lacerations
Exhaust bleed capacity.
Through winding veins the
ache awakes in
Throbbing waves to saturate
Each breath of tangible memory.
Ripped bits and
Pieces formulate images,
Rasp of voice, soft hairs,
curve of your cheek and
Face-
Automatic termination.
Power-saving devices
Entice themselves to activate.
Generate preserving
Protective mechanisms.
Moist tissue freeze.
Plasticize, factory-sized.
Cold breath seeps deep, cools
The frantic motion of gears and wheels
And grinding circuitry.
Reboot?
Computing cyber-hibernation.
Chilled metal burns a struggling lung.
All attempts at warm breath snuffed
Out, a simmering candle deprived of
Oxygen. Dim light glows
From within, shapeless and
Raw, grasping with fiery hands to
Melt and mold new
Hardware, boil down to
Flesh but fades till course
Machinery hides in
the guise of the waiting man.
