Graphite, pixels, saline—
work with the medium at hand.
this time, with endless agony.
this time—with vigor—billowing hope trailing
a gown of diaphanous vapor,
streamlined canticle in flesh
rising up from its pyramid of lime.
again calcium, again magnesium, iridium, gold:
solve et coagula.
biochemical sophistry, sad monolith;
this time, self-actualize on cue.
visit the interior of the earth,
in order to rectify
what is discovered in darkness.
once more, de novo,
simpler, with greater thrust.
