the other mecha in a staccato of light ferrous mist
killed by a stray cosmic ray he trudges
virginity lost: the fiery seeds of heaven splash into the sea
he breathes his last at dawn he wakes as positrons
butterflies how daintily they sip planetary cores
she moves closer his eyes twinkle on their stalks
soundproof rooms with iris doors kids rage in vain
no one notices the last mirror shattering everywhere, one face
