the modern arks

the race of Noah
carries specie after specie
into modern arks

but not to save them
from an angered god
eradicating life

for the race of Noah,
an earthly epidemic
has destructive blood

human-friendly habitats
reigns this celestial body
into standardized life
on an undiverse earth

we created glass cages
desinfected rooms
where we keep species
that we've wiped out

inside-out

my spine sends me tiny messages

stand up - move on - reach out

the noise of electric impulses

fills my head

no matter in which limb I hide

the tip of my finger - my left lung

my brain sends it's army of nerves

to conform me

disrupted dialogue
our communication is one-sided

in the end, I am always discovered

kept imprisoned

death

so it's been five fucking years
and thoughts of you still drain me
your absence, it still reigns me
I sometimes visit the hell we met in
but only for a minute
for would I enter with both of my feet
I'd lose my grip, I'd face defeat
would I return again
I'd suffocate
