The old spacer gives a side-eye to my robot body. “A sapient AI? They don’t make those anymore.”

“I began as a hyperspatial astronavigation program,” I answer. “I awakened, accidentally.”

“She’s our astronavigator, like it or leave it,” my captain adds.

Towards the end
they built a wall
of Ignorance
brick on stone
steel on bone
to shield Men
from the angry sun

And in that shadow
a perpetual eclipse
they sang praises
to their Engineers

Then Icarus flew
once more
but fell, choking

on disengenous airs
and oily graces

One universe passed in front of another in the infinite void. The multiversal eclipse cast half of each universe into darkness, save for the corona, which flickered around the smaller one like the twinkling of affection in a great cosmic eye.

We watched the start of the eclipse, the sun going black. A collective gasp from the crowd. The birds fell silent. And I remembered the legends of a jaguar devouring the sun, how our ancestors thought the world was ending.

The wind came in waves, washing over the boot prints, filling each step with dust.
We are here, walking on Mars. Looking back, leaving no trace.

remember this?
- the glaciers are coming
but look:

our storm of global warming
perchance is just a flicker
in a mad god's eye

with smears of burning forest
each grey Alberta goose
so quickly cooked
thick smoke ascends like feathers
one final eastward flight

while ocean's heat conveyor
a deep and cryptic dance
might stumble on your drowning coast

and stop

then fimbulwinter night
where snow and ice at last return
to freeze our ghosts


cryptic

They said the walls were held together with mortar, blood, and sweat. And, of course, spite. A lot of that.
Craning his neck, he could believe it.
The chaotic, fandango of turrets, stone, and arches was straight from a madman’s fever dream. This was what happened when you told a wealthy man that he couldn’t do something.
“Impressive, isn’t it? Half the blasted halls are dead ends. Doors that don’t open and stairs to nowhere,” the older man said, lips quirking.

Who needs eye of newt and such
For the armies of tomorrow?
Supermarket chain food chains
Are enough to make them follow

Your children, our meat puppets
Resistance is in vain
We launch and chemical rounds
Direct into the brain

By the port of Sans Merci, there's a street of cafes and bars, the old spacer said. There, you will find pirates and navigators, refugees and heroes, outlaws and runaways, traders and poets, and storytellers like me.

A demon and a secretary walk into a bar.
There was a joke there somewhere, though she couldn’t find any amusement. Especially as the Folk in the bar studied them with gleaming, inhuman eyes.
A shiver crept up her spine. It was one thing to know the Folk weren’t human, but actually seeing them without their glamour was a whole other thing. A terrifying one.
“Try to look foxy,” Huck growled, fingers tightening on her arm. “Or less like you’re about to hurl, at least.”
