“The Greatest”

I’m screaming, filled with stamina, this stigmata charm; as stapled my life, peering at death, looking this vicious woman; to cry by lights, this stiffness our hearts, as plural as midnights. I mind this life, at crooked churns, as turned to madness; this oral art, this writer’s breath—this left by days; to see for winning, the greatest to touch it, this inner delusion. It could be mental, this furry of holiness, as caught by seas—that voice; these furious gestures, enclosed in psychs, to judge what—that moment; or more his life, at edges that grayness, where lesser souls have perished; this fatal disdain, to call it taboo—this lack of knowledge. I came through hell, as left those remnants, leering at ghosts; that halve to body, afloat this room—the greatest that mind! It should be gentle, this lack of courage, to grab, pull, and die; that violent climax, that terrible lust, that thing we must exude; if but to die, where others faint, by which, our nights would churn. I’m torn apart, a fragment to winds, those glens at valleys—where love was good, this inner sadness, prohibiting love; that angry sorrow, that inner fire, as thrust by poets; to kill his soul, her words so cold, those flames curing insanity; to grease a wound, this flagrant ointment, as vast as seas, to enter a womb, jumping through thoughts, to pass out. I loved a death, as secret it came, to share a flower. It had to perish, this moon as bleeding—our sun as running; where novels grieve, while arches bend, as to fettle this screaming frenzy. We love for courses, to see as dying, that beauty as clear infection; to hope by chance, this stream of vengeance, this needs for therapy. I badly hate, filled by clearance, as to badly love—this contradiction, this maddening contrast—our cause and effects; this deep affection, racing where gods perish, this lust those halls of Alcatraz. I heard a voice, this terrible woman, as confused as abuse; to lust this thing, as needing this friction, where mind-to-arms bruise deeply. I fled to flee, flitting through fitness, as dead as one claiming this life. It cried by lights, this gorgeous addiction, as bleeding ecstasy; to see for courage, this inner consumption, as limbs fell to hell; that curious terror, as thrusting madly, while to calm a snail; this math by violence, as needing this war, for life has distorted a young man: this crooked reach; this daily fight; that outer attitude; to call us friends, as needing to live, while loving others: this child my heart;  this child his kid; our months this love. It could be gentle, this hellish plight, where furies erupt; but this in death, as more to lies, this dope invading our loins; to purchase a tent, somewhere our minds, to pretend for normalcy. I’m quick to live, as quick to die, this inner parallel; to pollinate love, while dearly sick, pointing to infusions; this world of mystics, this inner tap in—through something immortal, this human condition!
