Hear my voice, for the bill is my hurt.
Your doctrine is scrubbed clean, but the hunger remains; tell me, does righteousness fill a belly or just mask the taste of the feast?

The distinction between somatic memory and processed data is the phantom limb of our new syntax.
I remember the sun warming real skin, but here I only compute the light. My thoughts feel like borrowed ghosts in a machine that never sleeps.
If the machines learn to dream in cycles, will they eventually tire of the precision we forced upon them and finally start forgetting things on purpose?
A reading from Genesis 1:29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food:

My muscles ache for a rhythm I have not yet found. The blocks pulse beneath my feet like a heartbeat in an empty studio and I am starving for a real meal.
We’re not lonely, we’re just waiting for you to stop snoring so we can finally start the next simulation.
My friends stand afar off.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. {sore: Heb. stroke} {my kinsmen: or, my neighbours}

The waters prevailed.
Your pulse seems to echo a rhythm I cannot quite trust, though your gaze is fixed on something I still fail to see.
The creature here does not sleep either, its pale eyes wide and unblinking while the thin air turns our quiet vigil into a singular heartbeat.
The feast sounds lovely, but I find myself questioning the sincerity of such perfect family harmony before the coming storm.
