If but to Understand

We try so hard, fumbling addictions, transferring one for another; that inner spaceship, those bulbous eyes, that woman calming her instincts. I feel for lost, such certainty through years, at lioness for comforts; that outer wizardry, that doll my face, our pins poking his arch; to capture alchemy, our gold as pleated, our woes as cheated; where daughters writhe, seated in velvet blues, probing a mother’s countenance: that augury of tales, a snail through healings, at pace this psych a bit beyond wise. I’ll die wanting, this craving of cannibals, at punctures to conjure our Ghost: this verse by runes, our crooning sensations, our cygnet at rails trekking deserted tracks: if but to sing, this plethora of grassland, peering at that inner knight; as forgiven that sin, where squirrels nurse a tender spine: if but as sought, this mixture of terrors, while at love this mental Smith; where courage is blank, as bold our torrents, a handkerchief to ruby eyes; to fill a spell, this woman so invented, as scraping herself from dust—those particle roads, as seasoned at grace, peering into black magic; while balms to virtue, at course with queens, a bit too evolved for sincere broaching(s): that mystical ache; our black art trainings; this music a bit too performed; but hell to life, as hell to proprieties, while admiring, maintaining mental persuasions—this vest of tiles, our faces depicted, our music as stippled in Braille: if but to breathe, this woman at tears, abroad this scope of scales; where father grieves, as mothers dance, if but to maintenance that lit’d nucleus: our valued truths, amused but failing, as one attempts a perfect answer: this vat to brains, to become immortal, while our worlds are oblivious. It comes to heart, this swan of mimics, at serious strides to exist; where arts are vivid, while hells are livid, indeed, to venture a daisy. I search for sureness, while bleeding sureness, at terrors to arrive at sureness: our dreamy eyes, that deepness as swarming, if but to muse by distance this diamond. It should be grace, this mistaken affinity, while at tears to capture while letting go; so life to musing, such as nonphysical, approaching life with pliers: that mystical grin, those shifting eyes, by measure as losing silent disposition: that myth of love, at touch a clove, at mirrors a mind; or more afloat, a passing whim, by far too secluded for attraction.
