Memory
as grayscale motive
for cinematic dismemberment.
Fractures and fragments
insinuating a morphic whole,
we puzzle together
the anti-matter
and immaterial aspects
of our lives
in secret rooms barred
to the world at large.
In these rooms,
playing Frankenstein to the basement
of our desires,
we chart and illustrate maps,
cautioning, when necessary–
here there be monsters.
