ON THE CARDS

ON THE CARDS

my robot
took me
to the South Pole

she dialed in
a formation of doves
to strafe
                      me
with lore

took my
        heart down

into Vesuvius
Volcano

froze me cryogenically
and sent me hurled me
                  into deep space

he mind ticking over
as we nudged forward at light speed

her limbs fully uncoupled
and then coupled for
infinitely greater attachment

permanent
decoupling never on the cards
