))) the component energies of the instant are present in every one of its manifestations. this is the basis of all divination.(((

I.

Vatic Pronouncements/reaching in the entrails/sorting through the guts

of the instant.

What forces combined and clashing? And in what ratio?

What hodgepodge system of imbalanced and misaligned energies toppling into future? And what could nudge the Whole into harmony?

Botched divination forfeits Perfect World.

Another 100 years of brute dominion. The Black Glove

fixed firmly about the throat. Spluttering for a mouthful of air.

II.

Clanking Dialectic. The Infernal Machine.

Producing Novelty/indifferently/with no thought to utility

With no regard for merely human value. Mutations in the chemical lyric.

Errors of translation breed the monsters/which inherit the earth.

III.

Still water/A silence/improbable and wholly ominous.

Mist on pause. Is this/the Terminus/of Time?
