Welldweller,

Necrotaxonomy: A container for dreams of something better — The temporary
autonomy of a future that could be ours; if we let it It’s not an afterimage, but it’s not
fully there Like staring into a strobelight
Bootleg Marshlands; I cannot let myself be riptide, claws out. An incomprehensible
gemstone, where the rock bleeds through,* you don’t want to witness it[to be
embraced and cast into the oubliette] Bootleg digital brutality, Fecund potentiality, A
funeral for potentials;
—>Whoever comes next will know how to name each corpse.**

*Avalanche: poltergeist manslaughter

**Liquid assets
