Self II

There’s a resonance, a calming wave, where war lives, to
breathe
entrapment. I give it moments, to reconvene, a tear for
heartache.
There he is, wrapped in stress, to hassle composure. It’s a
universal, chamber for chamber, an unyielding impact.
Often to smile, spun for illusion, webbed in barbwire.
For what to live, an inch of freedom, followed by rain. I’m

in mystic arms. Such is mischief, an inner want, a stranger’s
appetite. I open shades, to spark a cigar, to garner light.
It’s a miracle,
a golden credenza, even a
diamond armoire:
this life.
