| Purity |
| by Zach McNaughton |
| on this side comes naturally-
pressing head first through magenta layered walls, skull plates slide, beyond pain, drowning, swimming through overstretched muscles, flopping out like a fish into a manger or some PhD's stainless steel. Alive. That's purity. On the other side, it naturally comes- pressing head first into a silicon world, tectonic plates grinding into earthquakes, sliding past pain, loss, swimming in over-taxed sensory perceptions, dreaming collective fish dreams ending up hanging on a tree or in a wooden box, some end, dead. That's pure too. |
