Deliverance
LEGION DIRECTIVE
00:00
We, the human race, have conquered every sphere of existence, created technology which kills and sustains any entity we choose.
We are at our last frontier where we must defeat the inner workings, quarks, particles of reality.
Our directive is simple: let time cease and allow entities to exist in a painless stasis
where only passion, amnesty, and euphoria are eternal.
Coarse unseen hitchhikers breached frontier roads;
Pure elements of steel and dwindling
Faith (behind them Afterlife pulsated
Dark brown ember and red giant orange)
Skyscraping cranes persisted in mute fog
Corroded yellow scabs flailing restless.
Spiraling days returned like past chapters
Gentle intercity traffic flowed North
Atomic ruby and purple EV’s
Cursed silver gin holo-skies, each minute
Twelve moved an inch; foot by trigger pedal
Aims sick, angst quaking corpse from bourbon stupor
Cowells sung silent sonnet poetics;
Spilled dwelled ink tap, tap, taps like droplets in
Trembling oceans of unbridled consciousness
Coupe cruising underground Council tunnel rails.
Her terror brushed my psyche
close to the cosmic,
red lipstick flare
Voltaic white dwarf
emanating arctic stare
a minute toward THE INFINITE.
Aims: I traveled Andromeda
In a span of a second;
light collapsed at my shoulders
Pink City LEDs burn
Behind my flickering eyelids.
I sink, I pray, I’m weary.
Cowells pure naivete drills
With quick precision, writing
To exist, never leaving
Neverland- pages turned truth
Gospel for his future bouts
Passion manifested false
Uncertainty a bottle
He sips then spills leather bound
I have one last venture left for
The family I have lost
Serve her, Alexandria,
Council, Legion, Historia…
Rails rattled idle, wrathful hands scabbed and pricked.
Rifles clipped and charged, 12am sister
Beat against dusty plaster wall- call our
Knights, saviors vested,.380 rounds-
Mother shrieks, cats sneak to tomorrow, knife
Repeats- rib, lung, chest. Crimson eyes seeking
Last: slugs, cleaver, or Legion Sword? pick his
Path and continue yours… and continue… yours?
Bicentennial frost plundered space city
Brother and I cruised tail end of I-610
Wake of midnight skating bayou city haze
Tropical showers tore ice faced terror;
70 mph swerving slick highways
Aims eyes swept her heavenly smile left, bro
Let audio take hold- blasting stereo
Tame the soul with samples and memories
Unseen Amongst Death Sung….
Mustang gleaming, rotating like satellites
All that stood among 4am dread was
Cracked concrete and glass castles- sometime between
New millennium youth and captors built
Industrial monuments, Avant Garde
Degradation baked within crunchy glass and
Silk steel sealing hundreds. Wall after wall
Friends and lovers called: I let them go extinct.
Born in busy burrows overflowing
With foreign roots, soaring toward vanishing
Heights: only wanting a better life for
Their sons and daughters; now prancing in Devil's
Hide, tenants surrounded by sirens and
Corpses of poverty, cigarette buds,
Shards of drunken-rock-bottom-derelicts.
I ran alone for all my days, barely
Spoke, no sound; listening, hearing their cries.
Brother: I never walked away from
You and mom because we are
What is left, After J—
Left we became three, she lived
Anew, for better or worse
Our family could not cease.
Hooded Empress showered in puddles of
Aim's family. Cleansed of bitterness, joy
Repressed, millionth kill awaits… I kneeled
Absolved of new found sins, his head
rolling
Toward his beloved Elysian pastures…
Alexandria's laugh burning throughout my
War strangled skyline, reaper's scythe striking
Denizens militant implode on neighbors,
Sleeper agents diced power grids- drones rise
Spreading pink misty mischief- billboards now
Legion mouthpieces, shriek reality in Sparkling highlights. Highrise freaks sleep away
Awaking to industrial skies, last
Millennium for human inclinations
Disconnect her heartbeat: permit reality
Its due rapture to THE ETERNAL… Rest now
