Paradiso: A Found Cyborg Poem

by Tiffany Morris in Issue Seven, November 2022

(taken from 2020s advertisements)

it’s written in the stars:
the ingeniously simple
magnetic mechanism
of the making process —
a depth of field
stitching together
trees, mythology —
cosmic archetypes
adjustable and buzzing.

the orchestra of the future
emerges through dream
in underlying ontological
ritual: digital axiological
alchemy.

life buzzes versatile:
a soul-making practice of
inner landscape where
a celebration
of paradise
blooms —
