//flash—
grass uproots
in quick steps;
running in
new time
//zoom out—
clear the sky
& screen:
all levels,
all at once
//zoom out, out, out––
ready to play?
\\press start//
//zoom in––
awoken in a forest,
the sun bathes you
––an image of wood
in a green dress––
a shadow rests on time,
a dirty mirror,
raging bears;
a halo of orange
bourbon & blurred faces
overlay in stills––
floating
//zoom out––
you must spell out:
warbles
with your tongue;
try again
//zoom in––
sleep/grass:
a predusk wash.
the clouds here
are stone.
//zoom in—
get out—
the body is, <yourself>
an anti-harmony––
body running;
you spit––glitch––
wet: the dew rich grass;
step; lick––
circumambulation
ringing
//flash––
—you fall in.
//flash––
eyes manifest,
hands––your mouth; mouth—
your legs,
loud
//zoom out––
level ten
level four
level up
//flash—
but you need no helmet, you are different
\\flash—
compost,
skin;
the floor is concrete.
melodic runs.
//zoom in––
find an exit––
and the shaken
ppl; those ppl,
tired, tired of
the back to darkness––
//flash—
out the portal,
off the platform,
a deep plunge,
a twist into words
down a hall,
like strawberries.
//zoom out—
you look up &
you hear the
blurred faces &
toenails stuttering on
the in-between breeze
//zoom out—
a stone bell end of
all your emotions, &,
i am tired;
health, coin & quest:
a sense of place;
refresh.
//flash—
you made your way, but
couldn't walk.
dust covered the sun,
its pixels ripping
behind a leaf of cloud
swirling down spirals
in you/
on you
//zoom in––
& pressed against
midnight
––bearing your
skin to the sky––
if you stay in a place like this,
you might not be able to connect
//zoom in––
how do you,
you rustle &
stumble again
//zoom in––
a body
still means borders
//zoom in––
moist paint
spilling
dissonance
//zoom out—
crazy adventure:
chair, drink
& dust.
//zoom in––
the paper broke––
but your shame was
like voice over
on branches breaching
from lips to steps
//flash
awake after pause,
action:
inspect:
chattering from
downstairs;
somehow spitting
in circles, around
a puddle that is
your eyes
//zoom in––
your legs bend,
you stumble.
it's not much further
//zoom in––
& fusing skin
falters. now, your
drawn smacks
seem bare—
& you slur:
a cyber sense of
community
//zoom in––
& you’re dragging
a halo of orange
& its shadow rests
in pixels;
running in circles,
neons leading you; you couldn’t connect
//zoom out––
it was definitely past
glitching, when
the wet paper,
sitting seafoam
& your white shoes
frozen, disarrayed
& mid-spill
as notes struck
a strong whiff of
glorious, cheap, available
//zoom out—
memory frozen.
after the sun’s death,
my tendons were cigarettes
& the tobacco spilled out,
resteeping
on the dark bar.
//zoom in––
a mad body,
a grin,
a leaf appears;
metamorphosis is in.
//zoom in––
find out
how you came to this
green––
it fills the foreground
over the long stone;
the shield is
waiting.
are you
at once sound &
a peninsula,
with words sprouting:
‘save them’
//zoom-in––
you have
a multi-headed,
blurred, slumped body,
fissure
between times
//flash—
reward? yes please
//zoom in––
like pine,
the linoleum
tingling awake––
fruit fwd phlegm,
frozen & vibrating
//zoom-in––
more health
more hearts
more time
//zoom-in––
red tipped lavender
& a swarm of green—
last night
ripples in.
//flash—
there was all this
unshifting
wind again
in loops––
//zoom in––
examine your surroundings,
stones soak,
so many spirals
swimming in wails.
//zoom out––
mouth—/
& green––
ripples out.
//zoom in––
you’re dragging
the glitch rich grass.
\\back to start.
