Firebirds

We’re abstract blue, as turquoise red—our dreams at baptism; to heat a furnace, cultured but savage, abased concerning trials; to meet again, or die again, our reign scraping God. I lost brains, trekking hemispheres, unlatched dearly—to love this riddle, where thoughts were murals—that inner concentration; as more to flights, adrift by scars, leering at mahogany bars: this curious fever, those cryptic thighs, as one bilks for wombs; that old confession, as musical chairs, or familiar strangers; to sale a soul, but courting fires, as one forever to markets. I’ve loved a flame, a facet but choking—ablaze by curse this force; where mothers cringe, while daughters flutter, our reasons a bit to mysteries—as churning softly, a soul untaught, while creeping through caves—this crevice of spirits, as remote in time—our ancestors dancing. We saw it ugly, this disguise of souls, while wrestling our climax; to die this measure, where hell grieves—as seething pressures a bit morbid; as wanting more, where death sought kindness, whereto, such injustice; this concrete gem, as abstract rain, a bit concerned with flame. (I’m deep a shelter, kneading woes, kneeling for knocking—to find for grace, this woman by chance, as a bit skeptical—to dance that way, that inner tempest, as christic fevers—where mother cried, those seconds of death, as fraught an overload). It hurts to hell, as praised through heaven, getting closer to destruction; this riddle in time, to crave adventures, where spirits spoke as specious—this arc in hearts, racing through currencies, as charged concerning chaos: that abstract art, this unction of fools, this woman watching. (I heard a song, to shoot a volt, where bodies shivered; this heat in minds, as chilled to actions, while pure that middle affection). I’m dipping paints, trekking barren soil, at tears this leaf; where souls perish, that inner leprechaun, to flourish a sudden second; as mother churns, to figure those plots, as life is one great deception. It had for hearts, this anxious maze, astounded by distant love; to feign glory, a pyre of secrets, a gift for utter destruction; this box in souls, this pensive paradox, this partial plague—where souls gather, this commiseration, as never before—to love her soul, until events, that person as blind. We came as force, that outer devastation, those vocals as angelic: a chimney to a brain; a den to a lion; a bit unbolted—where love was frantic, a kiss with pearls, a daughter as a flame—to charge her soul, this planet of souls, despite the blunder; this pale infraction, as compared to scars, where fathers play pretend; but more to love, despite the poverty, acclaimed as sacred.
