All tears have fallen
My heart has emptied
All the hurt, all the suffering
Enduring what one shouldn’t
Death should have come
Life instead has persisted
Feeling has numbed
Hatred deceased
Kindness my dream
Though it still eludes
A striving for it
That is all I have
Please grant that
Let me feel again
K.B. Silver
This is another of my older pieces. I don’t love this one, but I don’t feel like I can just erase all the writing I don’t think is perfect from my notebooks. I tweak it as I put it up here, but up it goes. I obviously won’t post everything I have ever written in my entire life. However, I kept these pieces, in some cases transcribed them from old notebooks for a reason. They were really important for me to write them, even if they aren’t really important works of writing.

Harmonian Isle
The ancient tower known to the people of Xeocun as Harmonian Island is identical to others found all across Fractallus. The towers form a matrix of sorts, invisible waves of cyber connectivity meet and form a web of connections that envelop the planet in a remotely accessible field of electronic information and power for those with the equipment to access it.

It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
