Take Chances

Give us brains, this time of dreams, this comic as spirit-blood; to capture forever, this present feeling, as killing his soul; to stream women, this immortal force, at tears to admit such dire concerns: if but to flourish, as broken a scar, our particles fleeing invention; that therapeutic, a psych by skins, to winds this flux—as passing quarters, seeping into slaughtered sheep, our metaphors becoming our mirrors; to die at treasures, enlove but mortal, to find flowers to graves—that beige enchantment, those terrible features, to love psychoses—where men fail, but hovered a planet, so close as fiddling grime—to curse by arts, this emphatic disappearance, our hearts feeling presence—to reappear, so anxious a tear, seeing life consume a queen: that miracle breakthrough, our dying days, our wails flickering by majesty—to pray but gods, this torn confliction, our theologians as patient as sinning; this mortal moon, for immortal rises, to fluctuate gracefully. I’ve torn a vessel, as cured a reply, to find with vengeance this immortal force; while gods cried, our goddess explodes, at fury this fretting battle—to cattle a feeling, as to reward a ghost, while floored and beaming desertion: this medieval dice, at tortures to love, while leering at insanity—by coming close, at touches with Zen, to have lived by radiance—that countenance crying, that woman watching, as both to controls; to want for skins, this wretched anxiety, where arts become a vivid catastrophe. I’m seeing mother, that fatal step, as contemplating to murder her son; this music disagreed, this disagreement as shallow, this woman as a cocaine goddess; to filter spaces, as assessing worth(s), while a genius at souls—to enter that place, our psychotic features, this mythic broom; to die at tortures, amused with violence, a product of Langston’s dregs: that furious flower, as nibbling apricots, while plotting disasters; indeed, such patience, to outlive our sheep, infused by Confucius—that torn legacy, as abused in texture, where greed became an overall motivator—as diamonds live, this feral spirit, too wild to acquiesce. I’ve loved to retreat, for life is too short, as giving immortality to a turnip—as never we could, exposed as sinners, fleeing where concrete settles—that static disaster, our mortal devices, this music streaming as but a second.
