Our Flying Swan

Gravity becomes life—this internal measure, to adjudge and perish; if only to soar, this outer influxion, this castle of temperaments. You’re fraught with ideals, where life is black and white—a need to treasure gray meanings; as to interpret pains, this field of passions, to facilitate traumas; whereat, are bars, to know for limits—this furious frustration; to cast a wall, where truth suffocates, as love becomes a contradiction. It’s oxymoronic—the depth of souls—that travel shallow lands; but this is law, for wisdom crucifies, while persistence infuriates. I can’t but feel you: a loud beat; a feature in a mirror; or that ache for normalcy. It couldn’t be life, as one so young, to grow so quickly; but this is law, to speak Latin at seven, and German at nine; where life is sullen, except for joys, to carry such impressions; as born a fever, as watching mother, as to wonder of father. It couldn’t be real—these grave intrusions, as thoughts wander afar; and it couldn’t be hurt, to edify souls, where nonsense is revealed; as this is law, a fist full of sights, as shadowed in a grimace; to welcome a mudslide, as to purchase a sprinkler, if only to wash the rubies. We give with purpose, therewith, a clamp, as dignified as queens; where others perish, for faint the gesture—attached to a million woes! I heard a voice—this shy swan, a bit intimidated. We laughed a tear, as captured in segments, to picture as painted proudly. We know for arts, as graphed through rains—this inner chamber; wherewith, are breaths, this sudden fusion, adrift the horizon; to live it as life, this courting of deaths, these multiple atmospheres. Our swan is flying, accompanied by wisdom, over a decade of class time; where indeed, we can’t run—from something so intimate; as to look around, and see a dearth, of this thing found perfect; so more to knowledge, to know for truths, where heaven beats a drum.
