One Last Dance

Their lives agony, such rich traumas, as explained seasonal bruises; to laugh by dramas, those steady shakes, at liquor with vengeance; or tears accursed, that silent anathema, that churchly hex—as sewn in pillages, a pirate at seas, a seamstress at lives: if once to live, as thrice to perish—strangers unraveled! In retrospection, we ignored our diamonds, this wretched adventure—while ignored at thoughts, that fleshly infraction, at opera’s theater; to sin by violence, this unphysical life, to scar a soul such negligence; this intimate curse, as sung through terrors, to pull us near; as ruined, by far, forsaken’d, while destiny laughs hysterically: that moving vessel, from person to soul, at horrors to live gracefully. Words are sparse, where swans are crucial, as we never see—that hectic sunshine, those Asian eyes that hex as mourned this life; while children fawn, as seeing perfection, that feeling by culture, as payoff; at such abandon, that fabled illusion, to cross by turns that chalkboard: by critical thoughts; those laws of reason; where humans first appeared; as realized sadness, at blessings to feel torn, while religion becomes an island. Escape is laughter, our bodies to stress, as never acknowledged—appearing as rites, to scar a soul, where brooks to shadows this sight of hysteria: that devilish grin, as searching for chaos, while living at fears—that stadium affair, as cursed a jewel, to arrive by chance that pulpit; where daughters writhe, at intimate truths, that feeling of nausea as arts; that troubled nothingness, those years to havoc, as confessed an error of lights; as face to rug, or tears to ice-picks, those words devoid of historical cache; afforded a sickle, imbued with violence, at treasures to feel such exhaustion; as scolding father, for unseemly thoughts, that world once so perfect: that flight by secrets; those ignored tales; that colony of victims; as to hell with men, this pursuit of children, where catastrophes appear appropriate—as threshing brooks, asearch for gems, while deer run frantically; as piercing, through sky-scrapes, this apish insanity: infused with dreams, those awkward conversations, while a psych taps into trauma; of course, by random address, as appearing haphazard, while explained with precision. It becomes a legacy, this fuel of feral fires, while never held accountable: that faraway scream; those alley cries; that furious grandfather—as losing sight, as not our little girl, while grandmother sits agaze’d: this rift in time, as purely one-sighted, where only one soul is at faults; this make-believe, those multiple checkmates, those parlors resonating that exact name; where souls anger, as said a jewel, as mistaken by men: that sanded tale, as sung afar, where negligence takes refuge.
