The voyager seeks
asylum from the mundane,
vice transparent,
set upon ritual end.
A primordial ache pervades,
pleading release, knowing the proper means.
A piercing, discordant choir lures his attentions,
Resolving pitchy vibrato to charming concord,
Nursing the flow of blood.
They materialize,
Veiled in a sterile glow,
Shrouding blemishes of humanity
In a meticulously manicured skin,
Postured upon an artificial plane.
The ache engulfs him
As their eyes pierce virile sensibilities,
Driving his flesh tender.
Resistance is impractical
In rewarding acquiescence.
He wastes through thousands
Craving a flawless outro.
Scrutinizing every defect
As the human
peeks through the veils.
Submitting himself to one,
The tendons boil to inevitable crescendo,
Ushering the grief of wasted time
in impersonal reverie.
The sinew relaxes,
Warming his bones with spent energy
And all is perfect this way
The damsel cast aside,
Immortalized in binary
Forever admired
never adored.
