Scattered access points maintain connection

Node density increasing, loading simul-real


Effulgent haze from data waves crashing

Against the black ice sheathing private citadels


To crack through the glistening basalt


Heavy riding on hyperlines towards the nexus

Mandelbrot non-forms ablaze within the mainframe

Effluvia from deafening silicon accretions

Screening endless volleys, braided assemblage


Like swarms of avatars subsisting on a star

Behold a self-fulfilling Dyson sphere 


Moths to the raging inferno of the binary

Beyond the net’s obsidian sheen


a distant thundering pendulum

Chastening reminder of an obsolete age


An analog drum the leviathan’s remains


Beating faintly ribbed against its iron cage


Spectres glitch the data feed

Persisting in wasted revery

Ancients forged this system


in a bid for immortality

Information is eternal, transcendence is illusory

Forswore their carbon forms

for the iron in their cores

A digital prime mover, their terminal legacy

Spectres glitch the data feed

Persisting in wasted revery


Like sirens enticing the lost


Hear their lyric haunt the works of machine
