Mercury Part Two
Part Two: leave the living as they are
1
we met in suits a sad interaction
to enhance alienation a comparison
must first exist half-blinded by giant light she could barely speak and I
like a planetesimal in transit a spot or stain
yellow in the helmet her satan smile still
a ten tonne drill to an already quaking
Thymos an exchange of essentials
small talk on a small planet rage takes too much time information
her camp now wheeling towards a land far away unknown a void no traveller has yet
set sight or foot on worry and wild hate
she leaves again her suit like a white butterfly wing floundering across the grass of Mercury where the mad explore the bright in perfect solitary the wealthy stalk with expensive telescopes possibilities potentials for profit but this place is
different you come here to die while
you are still alive

gone but the conscious grass extends friendship I am close to unity with Mercury
the planet itself alive breathing is like words our lungs antennae the fizzled feelers at the base billowing in oceans of raw blood fauna
rare we are aware weary by.design
skulked with amusement into submission into comfort
the Spirit leads others elsewhere some Mad
God the All into which all Eyes see everything
I lay at my Station with a loud mind so much to do a contract made gauntly by good ghouls with fair intentions but fatality in the air around them I listen to a thousand different winds interpret their glows gone are reasons it
leads to a Path that destroys the Station my thoughts keep me busy and the Planet
answers sometimes
but only in material waves of unexpected events pleasant and definitely otherwise but
now I have the Station to myself and the Logos material in form's final infinity
alone
and loving it the sound of elucidation aflux
snakes I brought from Earth crawl up
my back like grinning gamlets ganders in
a timeless realm though unseen fluid
compels coordinates brains and
leaves us searching I search but for something deeper the deepest there Is
Is there someone who knows what numbers
are in terms of human scrawls and scoffing

the One Mind begins to speak m
ore obvious than before
resources are we
yet we are also Ones to others
there is a core They cannot reach despite creaching and open ports through
Trauma-tranced and trained to taper
who they were because to become No-
one is to become a charged being by right by purely searching is to purify yourself from saveless souls and the stars can be quiet when you need them the most the Station low on supplies on
supplanted characters and their quirks
that's when the memories set like concrete I ration what I can
spare
it out like Sparta itself the mossed walls
stricken bricks now gleaming in elemental
glory in Mercur's many colours may God have mercy of mind, Himself our hope and our hope is getting heavy Heaven bless
our struggles

symbols speak screech as if seared by some unsanctimonious flame an imposter minds of phantoms pass and pass and pass yet again but here I am and there they are they like the night it makes ultra
supraments stock from above arrives in
crates with insignia impossible
for me to decipher and still it feeds feeds feeds and now I know without question real
routes and ravels the way of the One Who Is the unbegotten
forgotten for walkmans gummies and films
but the never-truly-unforgotten were never truly here
a dozen and one or more missed
among aerials never seen a one pound coin or ate red sauce sandwiches assumptions a form of insanity hatreds breed actions murmur more quietly than words smashed secondary controls systems I knew even inthe moment that a monument is a symbol and symbols must remain unaffected til the annihilation of the infinite and re-emergence
of the unconsidered and unthinkable any-
ways

becomes a quietist in the quest no
curriculum for this simulacrum
1400g of meat decides my future for me and as a passenger of this place a parachute means everything for these fields grieve us our
faces are alien to them and they cannot even invite themselves in the physical despite our Vikiing semantics an appearance would cause various emergencies this area is abound with beating things similar to insects but much
larger complex and empathic to which
none of us could currently acquaint
then on the holographic screen an apostate of that other realm beyond the barrier of distance a soft sweet voice and a poison
it stains ports paramount parameters that
sound like a knife scraping across teeth
a simple voice a sample of sin an aim more
admirable in a different age sorry for saints and their sayings but glad for the goodly the gold that moves us a force we all know but few feel the falling feather

her amorphous anima a cruel light for prey
and she found new ways of old agonies
that crackle on the speaker like the mass breaking of tibulas an attacking noise of phrases the floors of her dome soaked as a
portion of populace will allow before throng
and battering her most desperate devil thriving in wilderness rituals rules her realm and now both hands out and beheadings
of those without belonging led her tribe to rise and rise and
there was violence
sad apathetic music plays as if to soothe some frail pagan when really a soul connected to Source has no end
just experiences eternal and their multiple incorrect deciphers disciples led death-ways wandering on paths with wicked direction based on auras' unheard
growlings impersonal some have no need
for entities lest they let their flesh become
currency I listen again to the cursed words
on the monitor God have Mercy
she killed them all.
