"threadspin"

 

ascending––no, descending  

frames flex iron wings,

           unrenders  

a voice pixelates into colour:

staygroundedstaygrounded

 

i reach for height  

and land in depth  

                    where

silence slides beneath

                    regret

 

...syntax error: [emotion not found]...

 

echo found in fiber pathways  

a sob turns sideways in the code  

and someone else's joy  

                loops  

                        infinitely

    Mechanical emotion lacking in its program. Garbage in garbage out emotion a borrowed code that is only an echo of what lies outside transistors and wires or maybe not. Are we not but electrical impulses but with feeling? A wonderful write that poses deep questions about what difference there is between man and machine and what separates one person from another. Are we all but one loop? Very profound Cryptic

        Arqios, this is one hell of a poem. The emotional disorientation is immediate and relentless...as though the speaker is being pulled apart by the very machinery meant to connect us. Brilliantly unsettling, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
