Nazarite Spirits

I fire in spirit, this trail of longing, asking at once for sacrifice—that mounted emblem, those benighted shadows, that myriad of women; as love would live, this cherished citadel, our wings fashioned in lithium; to curse our names, as to uproot our births, girded in the fierceness of faith: that torrent of heartbeats, that ship to seas, our wails forbidden while we sit at temperaments: that turquoise pill, as burgundy gin, to flights at whims a certain enchantment: that terrible friend, that moody therapist, our psychs to mysteries as proven forbidden points; as lived forever, this cadence for Adonai, seeping into a trancelike dimension—to meet with courage, that amazing brain, too evolved for pinkness; that tear to mind, afloat a feeling, while flailing invisible dreams: that marvelous ache     as more injunctions     fueled by this passion to meet gemlike eyes: that cagey forgiveness     that distant awareness     those shoulders clutched as approaching potential danger. I never could, for mother has died, our eyes featured in bruises: those tall lungs, that bleeding sap, those leaves deciduous with grime.     I love spirit, as adrift with water, to purpose through a fortress     that leak through brains     that exit as an entrance     where abrasions heal while others form: our deep caricatures     our psalms as platforms     our music as invisible texture; to sing for culture, this web of advice, while one softly states: Pain is killing you: such virtual chaos, at rhythm with wildness, a bit too contained for see-through reflection; as, indeed, a passion     while trekking through clouds     our nugget-berries seizing our loins; as, nevertheless, this filmmaking poltergeist, our days so numbered with time—as vexation, rushing to Sedona, this place by tropes abed a star.     I flame afar, to have met a diary, this madwoman aflame a supernova     where tentacles become essence     as valleys morph by torches     while suspension deflates into agony: that axis spinning     those waves grinning     our nights to sullen tears     where beauty resides     this test within tests     as fondness becomes penchant heartache.     I fable a dream, while at full sentence, to have experienced abundance by spirit     that element of clarity     as missing parts     while at torments that evaluation of tenets: that sculptress by lights     that energy to hearts     that revving into a furious engine; as threatened our flares, our dreads low, our days as Nazarite(s).
