a machine is a wreck
with flesh
purpose its mere
animation

people...pets..
animals are Love
care..survival
nurture if all went
well

they are not wrecks
but flesh and bone
heart and soul

journeys and travels
routs and rails
flightpaths
and compounds

and of the Creatures
collisions of Love
of Night things
and Day beings
the clash
power
control

a fever
smouldering
behind the cheap
orchestra boom
box
vortex of wills
and fires swirling
consuming
precious works
on paper
on digital

memory the falliable
cemetary
wwe dream its setting
its paths
the trees
and every dream
is different

the harder
to seek what cannot
be sought
the further
distant

I need to take
advice of my
new
guide

someone new
on the scene

not that she knows
we never truly know

we can only take
it up for what its
worth...

It seems like a sightseeing tour through the nature havoc. Exciting and attractive. Make sure that your tour guide knows every turn and twist.
