Mindglass

I stare into the tablet of the mind: a crystal slate imbued with darkling ray, to flash the grasped-upon in briefest find before extinguishing again to lay in a graveyard of thought— down, down upon the depth of that gemmed neural net where I am turns am not. A glare upon the surface catches fire from the glint of an unknown illuminaire; all through its brilliant promise to burn higher I glance, I pierce, dispel and I must stare into its cradle of glass all sharp edge, dust, and dregs, molten bone-shard and slag and it writhes as I pass. ___ ![Screen Shot 2020-03-06 at 6.12.24 AM 2.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSFMf53kbHSbv8eav3hXzn8sFUsV76ub5JuE6XQAwoM4q/Screen%20Shot%202020-03-06%20at%206.12.24%20AM%202.jpeg) . ....... ................ ........................ ............. . ![Screen Shot 2020-03-06 at 6.12.24 AM 3.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcXN6qjMwS6VumT3bsmZPhvCWLLo1G3tv2crrBgnht38n/Screen%20Shot%202020-03-06%20at%206.12.24%20AM%203.jpeg) ___ ![Screen Shot 2020-03-06 at 9.35.43 AM.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPQjjrrCEBe4TahnX3tgU6q7kH57MhE2BnR4GVM6NZyff/Screen%20Shot%202020-03-06%20at%209.35.43%20AM.jpeg) ___ ![Screen Shot 2020-03-06 at 9.25.22 AM 2.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVPYGb5jcBUaPudhBojg8hzVoKWhLi3zH1oPuTgG1G8HN/Screen%20Shot%202020-03-06%20at%209.25.22%20AM%202.jpeg) _{.
