Dear Cygnet


An attitude churns, lost in a vacuum, to imagine conversation; that heartbrain wisdom, connected to mindstuff, as feigning aloof. I see for struggle, this need to intervene, but lost to feelings. I love as humankind, as to mirror infractions, that torn through sable eyes; but what is life, its ultimate meaning, this travel through souls? I felt you early, as so naïve, this push to convey nonsense; but is it more, this great defeat, where two are bipolar: this chiseling song, this too far illusion, as haunting for years. I can’t explain—fevered where we dwelt, this inappropriate feeling; as far too green, as forever too bold, as purposed to retreat. You entered by stealth, this backdoor kingdom, as to offend a prophet; where eyes are teary, as love is lethal, sipping a thousand dollar wine. I can’t but see us, enlove with justice, evolved in injustice; as torn apart, pushing towards glory, to live as inner fugitives. I’ve watched us grow, from such a distance, to hear a name filled with chills: this inner gravel, this knuckled cement—our prayer static in pavement; to feel infused, as drunk with power—this infant type enchantment; to see with vision, this never as dreams, that closer to a breakthrough; to mount a thought, semi-addicted, fallin’ towards a delusion. I must say more, where one makes claims, as devoted to elusive love. I try to feel, this deep reality, where never punctures that inner soul; to find for mercy, this mystic drill, pushing into divinity. I love us less, to adore us more, this slight variance; to address a soul, as so appropriate, as to gain a friend; where love is castles, this inward soul, grieving for times so aloof. So feel us dying, as to feel us rising, to enter into a mutual calm; where music is rhythm, that chasm of affairs, so close as to hear for magic.
