This week I made a tongue out of digital ink
Fibrillating muscle crafted by equally twitchy fingertips
Fingertips that played staccato scales on non-musical keyboards
Fingertips that scratched the skin off inedible apples
Scoured juvenile journals made of trees and mystical code
To make an abode out of ethereal brain pickings.
.
This week the hand that held this tongue
Refreshed the pages of instant gratification
Hovered over that which is secular
And that which is sacred
Tongue asked the Hand: Where is the line and who made it?
.
Only time will tell if this tongue will become a tome
A north star towards home
Or perhaps just a throne made of experimental fictions
In want of a place of their own.
