on the wish list
when energy is sucked
from the vacuum
then blown back in again
and humans have force-evolved
to engineer themselves
as beings post-biological
post-machine…
will they sing backward
their poems to the holocene?
and from the volcano
of impossible
salutary air
from the effort
to heave saints overboard
and drown their song
from the vast
complexity collapse
as waves crash
from the children’s cheer
when the engineer
faints in the heat
a sweet
heart
deal
like blows dealt
on neither meat nor green
is made
and eve and adam
are saved
again
