Receiver

Receiver, encased within

a matrix

interlocking fingers

Protection holds laced in cyanide,

laid at the feet

sedated will

Retaining judgement’s

reckoning

basis, we can’t look away

Paths of glass,

foliage dampening

cuts within weathered stains

Inversion’s information

drain, swept encryption,

malignance of conscious

Unglued, divorced

from Receiver, dying burial rot

in corrupted space
