I am the space inside the cadavers of words
The space inside the echo-chambers of machines
I am the ringing of molten bells
A sound wave breaking on the decks of spaceships
Breaking at the feet of interstellar sailors
I am a seed sewn into the Earth
To nourish the Gods
To sprout from the tombstones of letters and numbers
I'm a soldier ordered to kill
Or be killed
I was once human
Humane
Humble
I was once in love
And love was in me
