Swans Are At Rivers

We tread spaces, alarmed by blankness, that vacuum of thisness; to live by nothing, this groundless existence, pledging atypical allegiance; to hear for swans, this ache to breathe, while infused that subtle affection; where trenches are muddy, as exposed to mire, a fleet of adults playing pretend; to call us morbid, for taking issue, at terrors to know truths.  I’m a fathom deep, that inner hospital, agaze by a child; that silent song, as reincarnated, by means we can’t explain; that cyan message, as turquoise blues, where love was a jaded story; to flit by gravel, that glacier that breath, accused by grandmother; as love vanished, headed to Malibu, beyond that weary myth. We attract essence, so pure a shadow, as invested in visions; that reign of woes, by tears made flint, as coming to wander—that feral valley, aside our myrtle drapes, accused of something candid; that mystic wand, those brown eyes, that tender extension; to crawl by flights, as flights to trekking, as kissed this invisible touch; to give by aches, this horrible legacy, as so much is unexplained: that broken allegiance; our perfect mothers; this story of a lost soul. It seems so simple—as endorsed time for again, while preventing one from thinking clearly. It comes through engines, that dearth of information, as inculcated into submission: that cryptic yawn; that awkward gaze; that second as repeating vocals; where days are young, those precocious winds, aflame a fire of meadows—as running wildly, an eagle to clouds, a lemur to fledglings. I wait in series, flipping through minutia, at wonders about those telling tales; whereat, are swans, fleeing poodles that portrait a mother’s caress—as struck by lights, this flippant pendulum, where messages remain unsounded; while forbidden to breathe, this lake of sea-trees, or more this whale of deserts—we fly as angels, adrift burgundy waves, afflux this wrath of silence: our cadence rich; our passions spackled; our allegiance to soaring; as tucked in faith, so young to know violence, while one exchanges values. I ask as given, this face of virtues, surrendering so much to exist: that delicate flower; that woman as wining; this music floating through galaxies; as sheer examples, to exhaust our morals, while inflaming our swans: that cryptic eye; those cultic airs; that dripping into cypress: if kissed a daisy, as born a lily, at tears this cobra’s inclinations; where nights are rough, that tossing churn, running through dreams as cheetahs; whereby, are aches, our powers drained, this feeling of deep exhaustion; to flee by storms, awakened to ritual, perchance to advance into solace; this telic space, adrift for moons, as opposed to swollen eyes. I aim to instruct, even to fly, aside a delicate fuel: this brimming star, that floating mug, our tables engulfed by wretchedness; while still to breathe, as electric as fusions, spaced as afar a spectacular voyage; to love a swan, despite conditions, aloft a gaze.
