That’s Entertainment

I could feel the heat of you calling me

across the air locked room

two dancing dust motes
 
an idea of us

floating

threading 

the dead air 


~breathless 


soft insistent pulse of heartbeat

skin rattling dry as a drum 

the scaffold of your kiss holding 


~compression in my lungs


receptors at first passive 

then heat 

rising collecting boiling scalding

Urgency demand insistence 


~compulsion


As one body teetering on the edge 

of annihilation 

two free 

floating 

galaxies 


~colliding 


the fuzzy edge of vision hammering

a temple of monochrome shadows

black and white symmetry

holographic uncertainty 

flickering reality 

blurred 

existence 


~optional


I could touch the dark of you 

the whore inside me begging 

and stretching 

for freedom 

your desire a serpent 

hard muscle 

coiled 

strangling 


~any remaining resistance 


a core reaction 

held tight in your embrace 

the twin headed beast rose up 

to savagely consume us


~cataclysm

        ~~~~~~

And then the looking glass seemed to ripple 

and shimmer with applause 

A persistent grey fuzzy static 

of loud buzzing chittering fragments 

blurred babel talk a vague distant quibbling 

garbled gargled 

as though underwater 


~ jargon with side bets of laughter


a multitude of claws

reaching 

shaping 

fondling 

wanting

bottomless maws open to devour us 

drooling lips pressed grotesque 


~against the saliva silvered surface


our lust replayed for their gratification 

two mortal actors billed for amusement 

on a dark dreary night

in the halls of the mighty 

where eternity weighs heavy 

on the shoulders 


-of Immortal Gods

I recall seeing a holographic string quartet exhibit many moons ago at Earl’s Court, when such technology was in it’s infancy.

And I remember thinking this will be the future of entertainment, the grandeur of voyeurism, classical recitals, phantom pornography….’Light’ Entertainment. Alas it wasn’t to be.

This is an exploration of characters from inside their holographic world and how they might perceive an alternative reality simultaneously taking place outside of their immediate sphere of existence. An interface between dimensions, between observed and observers.

Of course there’s a metaphor lurking in there too.

If you got this far, hope you enjoyed reading, Sea 😊😘
