An engineering rush (iv)

by Dylan Harris

[ people - april 12 ]

(i)
wet & salt
evaporate
sky open
the cold
the breathing
eviscorate
ice corpse

sky closed
stuffy heat
breathing
coat & coat
to hell
suffocate
heat corpse
     the neighbours

(ii)
and the light
the light
the light intense
the burn
to burn
the burn intense
the known

the chemistry
of strange
so cold
it breathes
so cold
far in
so cold
the black
so cold
     the neighbours

(iii)
all dead but us
and the chemistry of cold
we
that’s you and me
we
we’re the only
we
the move
we
we’re the all there is
we
the blind creator made
we
another place
we

the timing’s odd
yes
yes is it
the light
the fire
coming
and we
we
we can get us all away
we
we could remake
we
the all there is
we
     the neighbours
