Nightsong

We argue grass, this pink endeavor, to wrestle with man-life: that effort bleeding     those feelings shivering     that deathless jungle     where ours is dying     as filing our flame     this auspice claiming attraction     as symbols cringe, so alive a nightmare, while evolved in silent gazes—     to love by essence, a sign to dungeons, this myth as mystic cadence.     I’m angst’d, a token to racists, a measure as pure that flurry     to ignite richness, as floored oasis, this misty soul sweltering     as cried this fever, too in-tuned a heartbeat, to love you evermore     but trails endeavor, this sphinx of omens, our brains loosing composure     where visions cloud, this welkin scar, as enchanted that silent winter.     We die to feelings     as arriving at satisfaction    musing through timbal that life-ache     insomuch, as pressure     that suture unraveled     our wimble to midnights     that fatal upsurge, to touch as dying, that treasure beyond rubrics     to assist our lives     why crazed by lectures     to hold to such composure: that flailing energy     those reaching eyes     that perfect feeling while dying     as husbands to wives, or pastel grays, that overseer sensing something’s troublesome: that silver shadow     that crypt as dreaming     your soul as convoluting unsaid affections     therewith, a tragedy, that child agaze, our drumbeat as downtrodden     as never for pain, or ever as rain, while clogged and congested.     I told Jesus, I want this woman, where hell reared its ugliness; to ask forgiveness, as never aware, this capture as pure insanity: that canyon wailing     those ceilings explosive     our charm as measured against varieties; indeed, to painting, alive through brooks, our meadows cleaving to affections; this chemic spirit, our conscious pangs, while to enter by womb and crying.     It comes with deaths, as to live resurrection, that public aspect; where love would flourish, those deserts aback our minds, as nevermore this craving; to chant by sky-glints, this private affair, our contrite love; in dire segments     our mysterious darlings     as never to abort your flame.     Such denim tightness     that tender gothic     as said amore becomes an eagle; to soar with pain, as crying betrayal, while dead to self for skipping projections: as could to die; or safe to live; while roamed by twain affairs: that musical poet; that lyrical father; our days to grays and dearly insane; where life’s ambivalent, to want this fever, while exclusivity would ruin such elation; in depth to flourish     that rapturous dungeon     such as fervor reloading our loins.     I love this feeling, as given by justice, to die this eclectic distance: this fervid grin, as upon that appearance, such ardent treachery— this life as ruined, to compose by clarinets, as adjusted to fly by mystics; but truth to spaces, that tragic wildfire, as to live a bit bored— this angst in souls, to explode a feeling, while destined for that exact death; so more to home, as living aflame, and born to fly.
