    moonlight gliding through my blind
    dark-light stripes my naked body,
    mind whirs down like cogs
    of giant victorian machines
    running out of steam
    grinding,
    ticking to a stop, i fell sleep
    and dreamed:
    crystal cocoon,
    starry night blackness
    starbrite in glass-coffin
    drifting past cold dark worlds
    The planets dance by
    blueviolet jade,
    twilight pinklemonade secret clouded,
    And arbitrary silence rushes in:

    i entered into orbit around a likely host
    scanned and rescanned
    stark emptiness
    stark emptiness
    was all i saw
    i liked the emptiness
    the coldness
    it matched my own skin
    i was a probe
    sent by machines
    i was cylindrical and cold
    a phallus of the machine age
    sent to fuck some distant planet
    to rebuild a race
    to rebuild
    the machine that built me
    i close my eye and lose the emptiness
    i enter and plunge into coldness
