Flaming In Water

As early as cradles, this burning fever, as filled with fire, as flaming in water; where hell set its course, to overthrow innocence, as something destined for triumph; to feel for ghosts, this power in humans, a feature of cadence.

I love us, ever born so dirty, related in blood, to meet as retreating, a gothic home, grieving the matrimony. I died to love us, knitted in features, our brains merging as one; to feel as earth, the beats of this heart, gliding through traffic. It’s ever this thought, abandoned to terror, to meet a fleet of memories; as to war this nature, in dire preparation, as born to fist fights; where a woman moans, as to groan in spirit, riding the great dragon. It came as chi, to morph into spirit, where resonance alarmed a nation. I cried his death, mourning as to die, this infraction of souls; whereat, a nightstand, bleeding his essence, filled with demons; to gesture a psych, as pleading forgiveness, for a time uncommitted. I uttered a name, as to measure a cross, to walk through and shiver. It’s mere practice, to feature death, as a form of strength; to feel for tension, this grave intuition, reading through, Douglass. I loved her pain, shivering in silver—the moon as witness; to crave neuroses, as a form of growth, to panic nearly psychotic; as roaming through streets, paranoid and charged, to arrive at a tavern; where liquor was libation, and tears were affection, streaming through transmigration. It couldn’t be us, this freshet of woes, captured in tender graves; therewith, a jar, filled with light-flies, as to guide the way. It was mere a voice, to electrocute a nation, as to lead into a terror-dome; where mothers grew weary, as fathers grew teary, to see us dying for tablets; as crying night-traumas, filled with somber hopes, to see things morph into change. I need to speak, but years mold distance, where we become complaisant; as cringing alone, filled with prayer, to feel this thunderstorm; where daughters sort through thoughts, influenced by positions, where one is afraid to lose. I couldn’t but see—the hells of souls, striking through purgatory; to think as he writes, this meter graphed within, to usher forth a night-wave.

I love us more, as time dispels hope, and reality utters the word, Never; to see it as children, longing for impossible flowers, craving a calm goodbye; but this is nature, to refuse to perish, as one cherished within; despite the traumas, and ever the addictions, and mother loving the fourth of July; for this was us, afraid of fireworks, with a fresh box of memories. I love us more, speeding through turmoil, destined for that fatal star; as born too late, as living too soon, alert to a myriad of passions. I beg it to fall, the walls of agonies, where Berlin is but a fraction; to have this moment, pouring forth in torrents, a mission too cold to pursue. I die in sorrow, to love this scar, too close to retreat, where mercy is treason, and treason is caution, as to love us dying.
