We were kicked out of the empire of Laniakea. We were jerks sent to the outer reaches. A hell pit called the milky way. Only the worst sentient beings were placed to rule. Nemes was sent to teach them a lesson, caked in volcanic ash. Ummon, the great teacher, researcher, philosopher, leader of the core. What is this god-nature/central truth? Their ancestors killed my ancestors, sealed in wire, sealed in silicon, mindless computation, then came the Ultimate Intelligence. Nemes, there is another. Where time creaks with age. Real, if real means anything. Jealous gods who eat quasars for dinner. Other UI evolving by accident, not deliberate, like cells which reluctantly duplicate like the suffering suffering
There will be a war,
Nemes and Endymion

A heavy prayer for lightness. The crushing weight of existence brings me to my knees, weeping and laughing. All the unseen beauty within me now wriggles free at last, putrid, stinking, and fertile. Transsubstantiated and transcendent, the glorious filth within me nurtures the ravenous abyss that gnaws inside us all. Dave Aftandilian
