10:42 pm  
APRIL 2  
PINK MOON

I can feel the heat  

a glass bowl, blackened with flavor  
holding what’s already passed through fire  

a passenger  
sidecars and classic data packets  
riding tandem through signal and residue  

with anterior motives  
the future leaning forward  
before permission is granted  

don’t look down  
not here  
not now  

now would be a good time to worry  
which is exactly why we won’t  

ooh I’m not a committee  
no quorum  
no vote  
no delay loop to stall the exit  

we’re getting out of here darling  
not clean  
not certain  
but moving  

oh my—  
the cave  

it’s collapsing  
walls giving way to their own weight  
structure remembering it was never permanent  

that’s no cave  
that’s the shell  
that’s the story misnamed  
that’s the container failing to hold what grew inside it  

and the rest is legendary  
because it has to be  
because anything that survives this  
earns myth on the way out  

into an asteroid field  
debris of former certainties  
shards of systems that once felt whole  

never tell me the odds  
numbers don’t map this terrain  
probability has no jurisdiction here  

augment by faith  
not blind  
but active  
a manual override of despair  

heat still present  
signal still moving  
passenger still in motion  

through collapse  
through misnaming  
through the absence of a stable core  

and still—  

we go  

the core not found  
but carried  

the core not fixed  
but forming  

inc core  

embodied  
signal  

blasting the art into pieces  

so it can move  
so it can live  
so it can’t be held  
in one shape  
again  

laughing at it  
while meaning every word  

a joke told  
with full conviction  

parody  
as the only way  
to say it straight
