The Sky Opened


We wander mystery, enthralled the beauty—as forever forsaken; to see for grandfathers, that broken center, wounded by four noble truths: the need for chaos, in jackets for order, to carry a nun across rivers; as to pause this life, affected sorely, mourning our first breakfast. I met a sheriff, a Latina bold, as cold as that freezer of pain: we thought of passions, classing through realities, as to walk away chastised. It’s more the seasons, this timid innocence, but one warring the fields; where soldiers die, while grieving life—this purgatorial affair. I shift to mother, this love for evils, confirmed in mischief—that grain of salt, to have in pairs, while yanking and tugging this soul. Our days are restless, peering at daughters, confronted by sons; to have for reasons, to break for terrors—forever this bleeding swoon; to reel as Samuel, that ghostly priest, as Saul understood conviction; that song of whales, stranded through regions, at once to suffer the lands; this great estate, staring at Asia, afraid that lawyers gossip. It couldn’t be life, as to lose a fortress, this warrior remodeling pains; to know for struggle—our political plight, a bit too excited—that mirage; to appear that way, this reason to feel that way, as drifting late nights through weeds that way. “Those pains shall come—at ease this soul, such as to whisper, Freedom.” I must remember, that shattered soul, strung-out the body sold; to feel for purchase, that reckless chase, where demons mold insanity: this feeling of love, as misconstrued, as taste to touch, the toughest tears. I shift to love, this blatant affair, to know it upon impact: those probing eyes, that gesture in paint, as flinging ink at posters: this life of fools, our hair filled with brushes, as if the sky was fading soon. It couldn’t be real, this villain with ideals, a war misunderstood; as chasing solace, this kink in threads, afraid the media has colored us evil; while though she watches, she’ll never embrace, the kindness of this soul; so more to moving, while feeling this life, as to peddle through storms; while rain would fall, where trenches flood—this mystic air.
