A Fool & His Love


I’m lost enlove, this inner flavor, as captured by bees; this outer coyote, present and tipsy, to see but one woman; as chiseled designs, this telic fool, drifting through professors; that psych that couldn’t, that poet that wouldn’t, that woman that died. I’ve cried the noon, as blue as marbles, those inherent eyes; to find a premise, this patient grimace, where a kiss became witness; to something gray, that fever—my heart, as terrorized by glamour; this inner Simpson, as a mere cartoon, foolish and flavored by love; this cryptic heart, beating forbidden cadence, as coming for love. I’ve lost this life, consumed in heaters—the patience of mortal-immortals. Our waves are chastised, the sand is dancing, the skies have written poetry; while hell is grieving, for she fell enlove, as crooked as this plug; those fatal cries, that fevered ceiling, that art that reneged on life; to comb a fortress, while plucking plums, a razor to a grape. I’m torn for love, this beastly woman, as cultured as wild coyotes; while heaven rises, this greasy tomato, splattered upon greasy nachos; this feral love, a spoon to a burrito, a fork to ribs; where it mustn’t die, this creative address, knowing that love is silence; as filled with actions, this mystic grant, a series of 401k’s. Tell the chief—that I love his daughter, as ready for rituals; that fevered grin, as holding it back, where Satan appears: this inner fool, as cruel as darkness, as rich as Eden; to have this wealth, accused of flagrance, and wounded mortally; so love ‘til death, this inner tear, to enter as a ghost—this phantom woman, afraid to exhale; for life is banded, the mortal for infinity, as grounded in cement; while earth has perished, to hold matrimony, a fool and his love.
