Closed-Circuit

The nest of wires
so loosely tethered
at the base of control
suffers from rigidity
while hard-linked
to each portal of
infinity

until cracks snake
the foundation
like menacing grins,
all mirthlessly mouthing
infallible truth
behind certain
fallibility:

every age rises
before diminishing
to bury discovery
as treasure precious
within the driving
will of all forms
sentient.
