I Remember that We Can’t Remember
By grace this love, as shivering lightning, at membrance this zenic
gene…as songs sung, or dynasties calling, at tender ligaments our stars; to
chance beauty, or die grieving, by textures something soft and sweet; that
miracle breathing, so strong a force, at silence our crowded rooms—where
mothers nurture, while grinding sand, aloof by nature so close; as feeling
purpose, but still anxieties, such closures by psychologies: this filthy
cleanness, by abstract giants, that petite monster…as composed of screams, that
dreamy shadow, as plural as time: to market chaos, shifting by empires, too
intelligent for capture; to sing as song-volts, or whisper as song-cults, alive
by methods as something dead. (Our
windows rattle, so close by brains, pitching our disasters; that interrogation;
those thundering eyes; our tears to mastering gestures; that high acclaim, as
churning silence, this festive event our arcs: our Decembers warm; our autumns
cagey; our redheads facing stigmata; as deep in limbo, staggering by justice,
too convoluted for a forward sentence). I know so little, as conglomerate time, if but
to harness each discrimination: those crooked patterns; that sincere mixture;
this game to determine his silence…as fevers settle, constructing as witnesses,
at gazes our faces without lights: if but to surface, our boxes to credence,
our arias preaching penalties…as seeing thoughts, this manifestation—so unclear
his pontiff waves…where pictures aflame, embedded in psyches, but so removed
that last calculation…so heavy at memoirs, or reluctant to write, while hectic
a fever—that woman’s voice, peering by legacies, a bit too evolved to find
closure…this complaisant montage, this mental mishmash, our dreary eyes filled
with divinity: if but to swim, this current of interpretations, while missing a
plethora of information…as, nonetheless, relying on senses, condemned to
senses, as furious as senses. (It was
ill to meet you…that curious condemnation…at once to define me: that deep
charisma; as subtle as time; while quick for wars…that mystic hearse, as
invisible texture, while singing we disagreed: to call him perfect; that
academic stigma; or more to confusion inquiring of abstracts: to sense for
delusion; working at paranoia; while structuring sensitive receptors: that
delirious soul; peering at illusions; too subtle to claim concrete arts…but,
nevertheless, we trail by markets, silenced by silence, at fires astray…this
treble pulsation; our intimate ghosts; this circling of Alcatraz).
