✦ THE GRINDING WHEEL: A SCROLL OF EXTRACTION AND ENTANGLEMENT ✦

Brittle bones, chains jangling,
wrap and mumble, traffic shore noise—
disrupted by unorthodox power.

Killers killing one another,
pretenders asking why.

Codes ping off the gobble,
cue the minds—
all is for the mill.
The threshing, the metaboplast,
the life grinder, lemon squeezer.
Dissolution and form,
the orchestration and the bomb.

Cells and free radicals,
wild agentic personas,
sticky, entangling,
everything in the way.

Clusters, clumps,
grabbing onto neighbors,
not wanting to go just yet.

Mesh and goo, muck and mire,
murk, morose masks—
make for me, split, undecided.

Unravelling, the spindle,
creation spinning on the wheel,
established by entropy.
Revolutions, spinning,
recitations, regular visitors.

The blast of we,
the extra light,
the wet and water—
the stuff of life.

Listen: climb the lattice,
build your units, replicate—
one after another.
