LIFELINES



Energy
beating, pulsing
thru these chains
networks electric,
thermochemic
weaving through this brain.

Synchronized & syncopatic
rhythmic, strumming
crackling static.
Shrieking, screaming,
writhing, wires
flaming, boiling
secret fires
feed the strength that never tires.

Thumping, throbbing
fibers fine
Expanding - Contracting

Space & Time
the only masters

of these Lifelines.
