The Sputtering Fire - Physical Exhaustion

-
Image
  The Embers in the Ice The glass is cold against my cheek, a final barrier I no longer have the strength to break. My breath comes in shallow, ragged hitches, fogging the surface, blurring the world outside into a meaningless grey smear. The violet firestorm that once roared through my neural pathways is dying. I can feel it sputtering out—weak, intermittent sparks fizzling around my temples like wet fuses. The machine is winning. It's heavy, clinical blue light washes over me, drowning the last of my resistance in a tide of artificial calm. I am too tired to fight the silence anymore. I am just... drifting.

Obsidian static the puppet master

-

 



Obsidian static, the puppet master.

(Verse 1)

The crevice opens

like a silent, dusty lung

Air thick with minerals and a thousand forgotten years

I'm rappelling down the sheer black

into a chasm's memory

My boots crunch on shattered polymer

No sound but the suit's respiration

But the stillness is a stage

The jagged walls, they lean in now


(Refrain)

The Paraknowing

a cold spike of dread at the base of the skull

It’s not a thought, it’s a wave

Static buzz. Who's the puppet

and who is the master?

High-tensile wires disappear into the light

The tightening

the silent pull above the gully


(Verse 2)

The godly face, brittle stone work

It emerges, eyes blank and unseeing

But it broadcasts a sharp spike of loss and profound love

My logic stutters, snagging on the input

An effigy, a sentinel

or just a mirror

I turn and see the audience waiting

Small, white figures, balanced stone totems

They are all part of it


(Verse 3)

The strings pass through my wrist

Not from me, but through me

I move, but the choice is an illusion

My hand twitches, the stone doll jerks forward

A terrifying defiance of my own mind

The proscenium arch is high above

I am the instrument

The performance has begun

I yearn for the violence


(Outro)

Just stone, I whisper

False

The silence is expectant

The strings tighten now

Fade out on a discordant piano chord

The Art of No

  The Ayes Have It (But She Don't) Everybody knows the bill is dead Everybody knows the Senate’s red Everybody knows the deal is done The major parties had their fun The crossbench bargains were all just show The whips have cracked, the whistle’s blowed That’s how it goes And Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the bells are ringing Everybody knows the mud they’re slinging Everybody knows the clerk can’t count With all the grievances they mount Everybody knows that the motion’s lost Everybody knows what the lobby cost The Ayes go high, the chamber’s low And Hanson always votes no. And everybody knows that it’s now or never Everybody knows that it’s gonna take forever Everybody knows that the act is rotten Old amendments best forgotten Everybody knows the tellers move With nothing left for them to prove The red room puts on quite a show But Hanson always votes no. Everybody knows the maiden speech The lessons that she tried to teach About the fish and about the chips And the tig...

The Internal Singularity

  The Internal Singularity  The silver nanoweave holds me tight... shimmering like a second skin. But the crushing weight isn't coming from the machine. It’s inside. I look down at my chest... and there is no flesh left. No ribs. No heartbeat. Only a collapse. A dark... swirling... singularity. The air in the pod bends around me. The light itself is warping... pulled uncontrollably into the hollow where my soul used to be. I see my fear—those thin, fractured arcs of violet lightning—trying to break free. But they don't flare out. They are dragged back in. Violently sucked into the crushing gravity of this... bottomless despair. Nothing escapes. Not the light. Not the scream. Not me.

This crushing weight

-
Image
  The Event Horizon of Regret This is no star map; this is the geography of my own collapse. I am on my knees, the obsidian floor splintering under the weight of what hovers above me. It is a sphere of pure, swirling silence—the Black Hole Mind. It breathes gravity, pulling at the seams of my flight suit, demanding I fold. I try to summon the old fire, to spark some resistance, but my anger manifests only as thin, fractured volleys of violet lightning. They strike the darkness and are instantly swallowed. I am tiny. I am insignificant. And I am being crushed by the density of everything I cannot escape. Be Creative and Innovative with Knowledge John Bennett - AKA JJFBbennett , is an independent artist.
