Death in a computer dock
I'm stuck inside the heat
of this heartbeat's
slow tick…
I saw death on a computer screen,
how fragile
and meaningless
each motion: sand swept into a wave
to settle again
like this body when it dies…
So where did I
start and where
does this dust settle
after clocks
erode my foundation…
Let's suppose
I am a projection
of a body in motion
and like the finale
of a film
each neuron cluster
will stop firing…
This beautiful picture
of soft grass, endless sky,
Your trapped heat
against mine
will all
Stop.
End of the reel
I walk the entire pier
drop my rod
and jump
.
