Error Body Stalled in Void by Jarid McCarthy

 

Here the sound of windrush               

garments flapping unmoving .

 

Slick granite unreal below the structure           

this decal abyssal : its failure .

 

My ragdoll lock : my blinking features .

 

See the effort of me piling      

up : see the mechanism at its limit .

 

The field wrong from this angle : lacking what .

Loss of dreams of stamina wheel not reeling .

 

Burning liminal : a shadow of a hinge :

a hallway unfinished in the medical complex .

 

The light on your back a texture away .

 

Level ending not with sound but glaze

but image of prophecy : untouchable shoulder-

 

blade you see in moonlight : my distant

stunted breath : waxing clippedout gesture .

 

Here a strange sky I only crane toward .

 

 

Holding ground : clatter : the false pitch

the warriors bricking up the river mouth .

 

What trajectories we make and fail .

 

What longing gazes we misread

as othering wither . Not beholden .

 

That tinned warsong you sing on loop .

 

 

Re-attempt come morning : make

a rite of the autofollow : your form non lateral

 

your form expanding out of bounds

form pearlescent form legless in the algae lamp .

 

Blue ending in which your body dissolves .

 

Sea of primal flesh : flesh of departure .

A heartbeat twice .  A blink trigger .

 

Simulated dawn rising to meet you even now .

 

Between us history pulled too taut : echo

of echo : the dream in which my movements are yours .

 

Yours dialed down to nothing in me .

 

 

Out there a question of remains .

 

This road where a motorbike careened through brush .

Late night sounds of collision : alarm light luminous .

 

Sleepers not : injuries counted damages marked with pen .

 

Lost object : the rider’s fracture darkening against description :

roadside loop of shrine and groundskeep . Paint on bloodcurb .

 

 

What puzzles minds not

has no determined song no oblivion :

 

load and reload : file compromised

by weight and wear . The World upright as omen .

 

The combat green driven snowless .

 

 

What ruins flees

is unmoving in its wounds .

 

The field a reaming in the body graphic

: armor null tone null shader flickering .

 

You empty of color

details running free : toxic lake stuttering

 

through the midnight spawn .

Queen of Night : the horde dead drawn drinking .

 

Footfalls and hooves striking aluminum .

Downed line : hazard latent and primeval :

 

the metabolizing ground spilling heat

loosening grip on the coin .

 

The warring thing not driven by any map pulled solely

by the sleep of me . Engine spiralling racket : tearing loose .

 

 

Not what is held but what I render fruitless with my suffering .

My suffering rendered as desert light : ghost codes twinning in the urge .

 

Out there a need to know deep down . Out there a ringing

in the ears of plenty : the way a sob scatters at the break

 

the only point of contact remaining . Open mouth to neon gale

one eye shut by an index : erasure and answer : glint .

 

Burst open the dialogue : find a landscape shivering .
