it tightens,

transmogrifies,

it pixelates into a writhing abcess

Not destroyed

not erased

reorganized untill incomprehension

changed

What once confined us in our muscle and bone

Now unrestricted by biology

irrelevant, obsolete, undone

get along little doggy

dissolving possibilities

into grotesque elegance

stretching not tearing, with agonizing grace,

molded like wax, flesh becoming shapes x2

elongating

not breaking—

We enter.

We disintegrate.

Not death—

worse.

Spines lengthen into fractals,

skulls collapse while the mind remains intact.

I watch my own teeth spiral around me

helpless, horrified, conscious

helpless, horrified, conscious
