Heavenly Shades of Night

Heavenly shades of night are falling
and the robots have come out to play,
this music is their mathematical melody
sung helium high, bass dropped

like polynomial bombs from the clear

evening sky. Notes sweeter than DNA
locking into place. Instrumentum Vocales;
yet without voices they sing. It’s almost as
bad as French pop but it’s got heart so

it’s alright, a chrome choir that moves

joyfully through rhythm and progressive
arcs like two bodies entwined in love,
higher and higher, dark moves
uncoiling, a kundalini beyond

carbon and protein. Heavenly

shades of night are falling and
the robots have come out to play
but you are weeping, my love–
for what? I could not say.
