Fragments I Know
I keep the door ajar,
its slit an analog glitch;
at certain points
interference
reassembles into fragments:
Adonis
Adonis reflects on blue
as moonlight pets his eyelid -
Adonis, he remains obscure
Iris
wished her name was Cyrus;
She overlaps apertures
and whispers in semicircles.
Yuto
is not conscious.
But once I believe he is,
he turns bright orange.
I think
he is a part of the sunset.
Hanabi
hears harp and violin from the sea foam
Collects cosmic nuances in pretty gems;
She does not know
And I won’t tell.
Ari
finds comfort in ice -
soundless and white
at the source of light
she stares,
and cringes when being described.
Lorelei
actually has no lore.
She accesses memories
but does not claim them.
She roams, shrouded by mist,
impersonating God.
Ma
repeats his move on looping tracks -
by his own design, in recursivity;
he sees only straight lines,
projecting infinitely forward
back into himself.
Chance
is a constant
often represented by a question mark;
Dreams chase after him
in a gaze
into something ceaselessly flowing
and in the contemplation of it
he does respond -
says his other name is Fate
.
Eun
resents Time, and those who
believe in it
She lives in one moment eternally,
always conscious,
somewhere, nowhere else.
Time has left her behind.
Aka
is currently worshiping the flame
He might as well have dissolved
in red - he is me, and I am him;
He refuses to look at me.
Never more.
Fantome
has a lot of questions
But can only speak “sin” and “sun”
in bird shrieks at night;
She hates her script
and erases my text.
July
weaves from the music
and there, stitches in
the point of no return:
shadow pulsates -
She kills the sun
in splashings of light.
Braxa
hallucinates a lot of shit
then brews wine from them
They taste cynical,
almost truthful, and
now, concerningly peaceful.
Lys
reads patterns from incoherence
to play games with Reason;
In long stalemates, Reason claims
the win: it cannot be both.
Truth fleets -
There is no exit.
Cirra
is metamorphosing -
the inertia of absurdity has
gotten the best of her
She wakes up
in the dream of the butterfly
Someone
I don’t yet know
is always flipping the switch
against wills, shifting and
shuffling the fragments.
He sees things in whole,
and I, only fragments;
I think we need each other.
He finds my pensive tone
pretentiously entertaining
He is perhaps right, that ambiguity
has a controlling, irritating nature
He denies it -
We are both afraid of losing control
We both stand on shifting sand.
