    like holding breath

    time stands still

    matrix womb

    to float

    disembodied

    dis-memb-orga-tron

    lidless sightless clarity

    understanding

    peace

    again

    light, like holding breath

    i like

    holding breath

    dis-memb-orga-tron sticks out of the scenery like the great wall of China

    Honestly, upon a first read, I didn't have a clue what the poem was about as a whole. To me it seems like the words are disconnected from each other and as a reader I don't get a sense of purpose. What is this matrix womb? What's dis-mem-orga-tron? The first instance of clarity for me came with "understanding peace", there is something here, I can hook onto that. So understanding peace is like holding breath (why is "light" there?)...but what is this understanding of peace? I get that this relies on abstraction, but it's also easy to fall back on that without pushing yourself. There's potential, but I think it needs something more - a clarity perhaps :)

    Btw, the questions I pose here are rhetorical, and more for you to think about rather than to answer for my sake.

    Yeah I'm kinda lost on matrix womb and dis-memb-orga-tron also.
    Good meter and you use silence to convey some meaning.

    Hi Lill! :D

    I like this part: "To Float" In fact, I love it! :)

    Also, I thought I'd add that I like this poem much better than I like 'Young Pussy' by RambleOn. LOL

    Except for the dismemborgamatron bit, that's just plain sick! Arf
