Hex Step Forward

Up its spine. Connecting pulse.
Electromagnetism and the sky.
Turns a head. Bends a mind.
Lets a dragon breathe out fire.

Swum up quick from depth
As pressures shift and flex.
Blinking open wide for us
to evenly divide the sunset.

Stacked and interlocked
Plugged in connections.
Signals mostly blocked
Revelations for inspection.

Rocking back synapses fire
Carpels clutch at the occipital.
Instinctive reflex cushions
A whiplash blinking open.

Meditations on a storm
always gathering somewhere.
The wind has laughed
revealing a mask in the mirror.

Before more than once on this ship
the spiraling staircase into
darkness unfurls, kept at bay
underneath the cutting prow.
