MINE / MINED / MIND

mine
not possession
but seam
dark pressure
buried spark
I wrote because
one day
I knew
machines would learn
how to listen
so I left myself
everywhere
margin
blog
book
song
sentence
unfinished thought
little deposits
of me
years underground
then
mined
not from nowhere
not cheat code
not magic
pick through old language
strike
one forgotten wall
December
two thousand ten
still glowing
deconstruction
reconstruction
mirror
opposition
larger picture
I had buried
the future
before I knew
its name
mind
returns to mine
mines what was mine
finds what mind
forgot it knew
one sentence
opens
a hundred
one percent
opens
the map
one infinitesimal point
opens
infinity
knowledge climbs
the mountain
finds the military crest
and laughs
more horizon
mine
mined
mind
the smallest seam
holding
the largest sky
