Fever Born II

I know you wonder—of Chinese food, to venture spicy.     We die a rhythm, to live a cave, a slave of feelings.     I hate the fraction, to mourn the ceilings, to see for madness.     Oh for intimacy, to want for perfect, to ask for life!     We cringe to read, a vest of troubles, where a swan grieves.     Try to see me, a ghetto child, forever suffering; where demons call, to break for bottles, to face the heartless.     I love you free, a spot upon stage, a silent sorrow; in which are veils, to stagger and live, a source for fevers.     I gave and died, where pressure builds, to wreck for peace.     If only a grant, to soar through cities, to claim for Paris; for love is green, to mourn for claret, to run for hell; whereat are facts, to grieve a soul, to puncture a lung.     I felt your pain, to know for secrets, to feel a carriage; where daughters cry, and more to laugh, to grow resilient; but feel for hearts, as wild as foxes, as bold as lions; whereas for death, a silent voice, drowned in liquor; where god knew, to flee a fortress, to see for lovers.     I know not—for density, to know for measures—a crowded shelter; to see for life, and groan deeply, to carry a monster.     I love you free, and more so freely, to give a child; and not for me, to see us rumble, to feature a wound.     I ask for reason, the signs of hell, to grieve grandparents; where life is shadowed, to burn to fly, to level at a four.     Does it kill, to feel for rain, a notch above dying?
     I ask—and not for pain, but rather for truth; in which are vessels, to crush passions, buried in therapy; and god knew, a solemn goddess, bent through hells.     I crave love, a midnight talk, to question anger.     It’s not for guile, to feel a princess, nearly jaded; and what for life, to live and die, crowned with darkness?     

Sonnet IV

    If I was Pablo in a feeling, I would assert love, I would cry fever—one begonia, three dreams.  If I was Neruda in my emotion, I would e...
