Churning Fires

Is it words that carry meaning, or is meaning dependent upon the interpreter?


I cupped a petal; I felt a dream; I lived by ages. I cried at silence, filled with blankness, attempting to nudge nothingness; such miracle music, our systems at .8, fevered by fireflies: that Joker’s grin; those Batman ideals; our wander-night-souls. I’m filled by lusts, at passions concerned, or more to tragic flatness: that dormant rocket, to outwit glaciers, amazed a pigeon eating grass—this clump to arts, our canvas laughing, our soul-aches groaning. I gazed afar, running through meadows, at once, a terror, those mirrors: that deep horizon, to churn his life, by agonies a man fawning: that gravid glance; those delicate palm-prints; that brow sifting through confetti; as loved our hearts, that shapeless masterpiece, tickling sky-fires an opus. I read a missive, such terrific horror, at toils to discern our screams: that ballad wisdom; our simplistic confusion; our bedlight wisdom—as jotting textures, awash’d in crimson, but hectic a vision—to trace an ocean, that emoted opera, spotted as singing to wretchedness: that frigid furnace; that invisible knitting; that pillow by tears, so heavy—agog by melancholy, that welkin outcome, our punishment, our joy; this light by wisdom, our vibrant women, our inmost embers. We veiled a monsoon, captured by essence, our rapture but an image by cadence: our hamster’s fatigue; our souls as potters; our minds running, as rising, a sky-dream: as nigh delirious; or hectic nigh bliss; this ache by passions our sins—that furious woman, singing so softly, agaze’d that mischief of madness; our intimate souls, as dripping calories, while melic a storm our wars. I’m screaming silence, that small trail, that narrow passage—at tolls with self, amazed by tuition, that fiction by arts—our fictional realities, that freelance illusion—if be it a soul, steeped our academies, sectioned to picklock our souls: as embellished thunder, to extract persons, such fables igniting streams: that gloomy peace; that magnet mind; our treasures by void a touchstone: if be it for wisdom, this fulcrum by love, starry-eyed by agonies such to churn. I met a cloud, steeped in flowers, studded in fireballs—to ensoul a mirror, or to siphon a wound, carried by tragic triumphs. We laughed by grains, a raindrop to a temple, that voiceless voiceprint: our casual dance, by chance a dream, to awaken to spittle; that eerie feeling, while a bit refreshed, or heavy a daze: our symbols to garbs; our hearts to language; our passions to caution—if but a scream, to treasure by nature, this vest by arcs as soaring; where bosoms swell, our fettered fires, aflame a heart-storm;—as delicate fingers, caress a delicate scar, while enraptured through chaos.
