By Psychic Hearts

This mental latchet, unloosed by love, as our wilderness cries: this Lamb as suffrage; this pouch as forests; our pockets harassed by lint; as calling Elias, this message of Elisha, racing as falling to arise—this vessel in space, as crooked as pastimes, revved as fires that inner Rabbi; while kneeling in agonies, this woman as sources, to symbolize this fig tree. It severed deeply, this vat of drama, this firkin of turmoil; as so afraid, to feel this life, while roaming this lonely island. Our feast has come; our deepest celebration, at wills to conjure our souls: this furious lever; this Passover blood; our governor preaching by plights of widows; to remember that reign—those years at anguish—our sweetness as real as almonds—to conjure as practiced, this pragmatic mischief, slanted by metaphysics—this meta-mind, that vacant zeal, this Born Again as everlasting; to return to love, that morning celebration, prior to waking eyes; to build our days, as crazed as wolves, as nauseated as pregnancy; this outer nothingness, as smelt ontology—our habits to fettle our outlooks; this devious span, this mental interior, this castle wrapt in spirits; as chasing chains, these fragile links, by which, each box proves a gate; to enter his doors, while flushed in ritual, this dancing as music’s-tribal; this molten spirit, as liquefied promises—this woman a sudden explosion; to know for powers, as charmed to oblige, awaiting that moment of converse; as laics live, this passion of Psalms—our palms bleeding our priesthood; to ask permission—of something so natural, as becoming a maverick: this sullen song, facing excommunication, as to obey God instead of man; this mystic lily, as pleading decisions—this Victorian Justice. Forever is near, those elastic pledges, revved as near ecstasy—soaring through tribulations, at peace for seconds, where minds conjure up insanities; this inner fullness, that cask of vows, as racing towards this finished product; but never it came, as doors would open, sliding into Daniel’s Visions—this faraway dream, this outer indigo, our meadows as speaking through branches; this silent hymn, that inner tribunal, our podiums fraught with skies. It could be gentle, instead of wickedness, as something so subtle by scars; this fabulous travesty; as more this training, alive come anguish this inner retreat; but what of love, as singing that melody, forbidden to sweaty palms; this cryptic soul, as living in secrets, at woes to forbid this flight; as seeing ghosts, to reckon eternity, that season of feeling as a daughter; this sweet essence, to hold our hands, crossing as staring at green lights.
