Centerpiece

I’m through loving us, but essence a mother, stirred into a trauma-comma. I’m not fleeing us, but essence a father, as to repeat his life. The flowers are mourning, crying this fiat, to hold court as mere authority. We left it as wrongs, in search of righteousness, that torn through redemption; to have this second, dying in convulsions, to rise—and leave, with no regards. I know regrets, but not your life, but the vessel through which—the nights are thorns, the days are acid, and life is but tragedy. I disappeared, to claim such glory—the life of Buddha; as born in circuits, to feel it as sudden, this inveterate calling. I knew us ruined, as hungry for life, stressing this dreary music; to wound for love, this partial climax, as drifting through mindcaves; and gods fell, to rapture nymphs, as falling into Satans; this dream of spirits, conditioned as to rise, fleeing from multiple commas. I know of daughters, as struggling feelings, as merging with mothers; to lose identities, as craving to live the funnels, if this must be life; as heard in verses, to anger mother, whereto, the wonder of days. We cleave and panic, as not receive, this flight of young swans; as captured by devils, to push the irrational—so far removed from moments! I heard us fallin’, and saw us rising, where thoughts fell instinctively; as tender the essence, a swan as reborn, to feel a thousand thumps; where mothers venture change, as to cleave to brick, hoping that one never adventures. I can’t but see—the long pastures, that inner vineyard, as born to seek fruit; to partake of wisdom, as to replace eyes, as filled with cultures; as we failed a life, as filled with venom, as partial to bull-crap; to claim for love, as to ignore the summers, where longing painted expressions; to enter a room, and slam a hit, as to envision that something changed. I couldn’t forget, a woman so golden, as to forfeit addiction for nine months; and then for hells, as yearning for desire, as feeling old and ruined. I know not the days, that love became boredom, and suitors became precedence; but this is life, a series of hormones, dying for that centerpiece.
