i stand still.

light penetrates the translucent
paper-thin skin wrapping

there are six aluminum pistons

copper stuffed bones

protruding from my back

while limp arms hang

pumping persistently

grazing the skin

idly bearing impotent

tight vertebrae between

wind chime fingers

the oiled orifices
with dull clicks

my mouth is exhausting

huffing and choking out dark
black oil drips

heavy smoke through

streams of iridescence

jagged teeth

down the emaciated

with a metallic chittering

valleys of my back

and organic wheezing

and down long stilt legs

into the basin

a mother-of-pearl gloss

of my shadow

inhabits my sunken glass eyes
in their skull pits

Expression Magazine

�Pistons

blind yet probing
with short circuit twitching

snow falls from cloudless starry black into soft

blankets of white
i shiver in the slow storm that promises to bury
everything
sound reverberates from deep below the barren

crust of moon-earth
a bassy rumble the same timbre as the mechanical

hum of my bird heart

iam one of many
and my pistons pump

without rest

for the Hell Engine
