shard and rope

conjure shard and rope
bind and parry
follow fracture and seam

geode ink pour
frayed edge dodge
point slide align
into glass-storm angles

the tired groans
of an abandoned space station
teeming with the things
it was designed to contain
having turned it
into their habitat

stray thoughtforms adhered
into collective countenance
the aftermath
of a dark age
of mutual predation
hunger eating itself
to stave off the uncosm
