there is so much life out there in the long, cold dark. wrapped in layers of polymers, skin redolent of the freezing wind, there you are, a hot animal machine tearing through the winter night. how amazing and terrifying our bodies, needing only to be fed, these burning foundries spouting fire and blood, and force. the unceasing flesh, one billionth heartbeat, the taste of copper in the back of our throats. blood noisy even in the tiniest vessels in our teeth. a third, filmy eyelid slowly peeling back, eyes turning downwards from our skulls, unfocused and all seeing. blindingly pure.
