Dualities

My mythic SFnal poem “Dualities” is up in Mythic Delirium.

The universal flow of prime numbers

unleashed from your/my sleeves

surrounds you/me in pillars of light. I/you never

understood math, you/I never

knew much about architecture, languages,

the processing of speech into data and storysong, that

wordshaping that anchored me/you in the ground. You/I navigate

between stars with motion/no motion

that exists outside timeflow and yet bound in it; the manifold, unfolding

along the pathways of the veins.

(read all of it at Mythic Delirium)

The science fictional parts of “Dualities” are set in the Boundless Universe, a very old universe of mine in which I have hardly written anything, but in which I suddenly have two other upcoming pieces: “Archival Testimony Fragments/Minersong“, a poem in Uncanny; and a short story, “Stalemate,” in Lackington’s.

“Dualities” is matched in the issue with Michele Bannister’s wonderful “The Ensouling of Spacecraft,” which I wholeheartedly recommend.
