Perfection of Darkness
Jagged skyline fever graph
blinks in and out of sight.
Possessed cityscape night-time
drowns stars in unrequited light.
Metronomic flash of machines
pulse streets with electric blood.
Data ghouls prompt and prowl
crave feedback and rerun.
Drone swarm lullabies
dump metrics on the living dead.
Reality gasps a final breath
falls silent among the pixel-fed.
Perfection of darkness installs
with power out red descent.
