The Turn by A God from the Machine
A long walk through the snow at the beginning of a year that will never end.
"The Turn" is a song of time unending, of the slow turning of an immovable wheel, of the madness of inescapable guilt for a crime that cannot be spoken or imagined, against the self, against nature, against Being itself. It is the knowledge of violence that can never be undone and the horror of facing that violence unable to look away, unable to seek solace, or to ask forgiveness. It is at once the destruction of self, and the rejection of death, an escape into a cycle of renaissance extending until, or perhaps beyond, the death of time itself.
Writing for "The Turn" began on a day without snow, in late Spring. It has come to you now across two years, two continents, and four cities, to another day without snow, as the hemisphere bends its farthest from the sun. Its journey has not been a direct one, and its end was not always clear, but it is with great joy that I release this tale of horror and loss into the world. Thanks to all my friends and collaborators who made this piece possible, and particularly to Joe Kelleher and Jeremy Johnston for their amazing contributions.
