a wire carries someone else's order
the bond embodied beam
Nothing has been placed aside
DAY 233
wrong year
smoke mirage
ambitions in Reserve
how data becomes atmosphere
a wire carries someone else's order
the bond embodied beam
a road closed
a hospital goes missing
archive note:
field index lens — refinery breathes
warmth all night
Perception holds, siren
two streets over — snow voice
sediment brilliance
awareness fractures voltage
blood warmth atmosphere
a logic we did not sign
San Francisco grid
silica wind
the server decides the room
court adjourns quartz
room borne
the court does not
adjourn
overflows
where quartz paper
attention beam misfires —
the strike goes quiet, unsigned
the archive keeps the wrong year
the verdict lands before dawn
witness light, shoulder
phantom wire dusk
counted before we speak
the camera narrows
reflection discharges
forward paradox
unfolds, remembered beam
threshold cut
file stays—open
the hearing lands before dawn
river afterimage where—margin
day unfolds itself,
ray deja-vu,
file open, halo fractured,
Waking somnambulant buckles,
an unsigned invoice —
an invoice no one signed
Feeling migrates,
slips through a waking grid,
tallies against
the unsignable.
