ALLOY

 


We are alloy, flesh fused within slow time

Our genes move like quiet remembering

Bone keeps old stories under living skin.


The marrow holds the sleep of ancient hands

Hunters still breathe inside inherited bone

Their songs persist where language was not born.


Before the mouth learned prayer or learned to rule

Before the word became a sharpened edge

Before the sky was split by flame and fear.


Mutation came not cursed but questioning

A pause within the pattern of the world

A step unsure yet leaning into form.


It learned to stand and name itself as progress

Yet tripped again on stones already known

The future limped along familiar paths.


Some traits fell out like stars at break of day

Instinct was traded for the glowing screen

Inheritance dissolved into the now.


The blood of grandmothers grew faint with time

Their whispers crossed out from the coming script

Replaced by echoes built of light and code.


Culture divided mirrors into sides

One face refined by power’s steady hand

The other cracked by hunger and by need.


We saw ourselves distorted by the glass

Borders were drawn where skin should learn to breathe

Belief was honed to tool or else to blade.


Yet imbalance kindles unexpected fire

From fracture rises motion into form

The broken frame invents a way to fly.


From damaged genes the dream of wings appears

Ash teaches matter how to shape new worlds

We build machines to outrun former limits.


Faith shifts its weight from stone to signal flow

It breaks and spreads through fragments of belief

Remixed and shared and endlessly disputed.


The gods hum softly through electric veins

Or fade into forgotten silent code

Divinity reduced to passing noise.


Society erects its narrow frames

Assigns each body where to stand and stay

And names that stillness order and success.


But under beams and rules the pulse survives

A seed remains untouched by hardened plans

Potential waits for breath to let it rise.


A child still laughs in every living tongue

Unburdened by the gravity of past

Joy moves where history cannot yet reach.


Love slips outside the diagram of genes

Hope mutates faster than inherited fear

It burns despite the data of despair.


We are not pure nor finished in our form

We argue daily with our own design

A restless trial still shaping its intent.


We balance what we were with what we trust

Between belief and memory we lean

And dare to reach beyond instructed paths.


In turning cycles dawn repeats its vow

Night holds a prayer too quiet to be heard

We walk between the promise and the dark.


We carry stars alongside shadowed weight

Receive both chaos and a fragile calm

Each fracture teaches matter how to forge.


Each fall reminds the body how to rise

Loss tutors hope in patient discipline

The wound becomes the site of future strength.


Beneath the alloy surface something beats

A pulse, a whisper threaded into sound

A truth held gently in uncertain hands.


We are becoming, never fully formed

The story stops but never truly ends

Each breath rewrites the line that came before.


A harmony of broken joined with whole

Of darkness learning how to carry light

An alloy shaped by pressure and by time.


We reach beyond the edges of the known

Not finished, not complete, but still in bloom

Drawn forward by the question of our selves.
