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.
