But a monster through mother, that absent father, to condemn but so much; that falling frequency, our snoring and walking, our touring and talking.     I frequent a fragrance, a pistol through adolescence, to want for calmer oceans: that cultured queen, so wild and chaotic, by a collection of hats—that stranger’s lusts, that cheetah running, our affairs that fist to pillows—as crazed, peering at professors, a bit too uncouth for love; where self ruptures ashamed, as falling lights, to change so drastically for broken vessels: that movie dying, that classic refuted, this vex of proprieties: our casual banter, that inner undercurrent, that working of brains near cliffs—as retreated her life, to engage by prowess, about as cultic as psychs; indeed, to woes, cringing for prying, binging for dying; that morning of whispers, by sudden elation, to feel by loins a presence.     We knitter sackcloth and poured liquor and nibbled cucumbers [where gods appeared, this instinctive voiceprint, our transmitters as cache foot-hints] to love abrasions, our maniacal laughter, streaming by Olivia’s mirror—in truth, to terrors     Rihanna at vocals     this space in dungeons our comforts—where artistry bleeds, as calligraphy screams, this kef in demons an uncanny blueprint [but life to trauma     this woman of substance     while grieving our adolescence: those beige rulers; that type of arthritis; our steep melancholia—as frowning malaise, a tare amazed with frequencies, while arriving at knowledge that vitiates—this inner karma, so desperate a good girl, this prison suffocating humanity—where science is failing, as religion is failing, as, nevertheless, each has extended its portion].     I faulted mother, by tired excuses, to forget she sat it out: those chains and buses; those sticks and sherm; that radical betrayal by marijuana—a bit too colorless, to shift a heartbeat, a new man in hours; therewith, this scar, as claiming ownership, where slavery remains illegal—if but a curse, as realized a second, This wealth becomes filthy; hereto, such killing insights, whereat, such killing love [to purchase lingerie, or an expensive perform, or to barbeque for hours—those margaritas, to witness perfection, that laughter a cocoon to arts—as never for darkness, as darkness prevailed, where truths followed this norm of paradise; indeed, to sarcasm, scraped and scarred, fleeing for harmony: as, nevertheless, this mystic chantress, or that yogic councilwoman, while we freedom by flying with Jews: that music he loved, that angle she frowned, this thing concerning toilet paper; as more emphatic, this grin so impartial, to have for seconds perfection].     I peeled a grape, To hell with love, this type of lying to self—as gone to rivers, pillaging this forest, standing aside our frontier: that edgy art, that infusion of brains, to catch a vibe our daughters: those nectarines, that bundle of broccoli, that running for freedoms—where papa loves, as holding his child, as momma wipes a tear; this place in souls, as snatching hearts, by knells so rebellious: as, moreover, a kiss, as hitherto, a vex, while friends laugh over traumas—that deep concern, fretted by therapy, such determination to breathe—where patience wanes, while children are abrupt, that reaching for popping while barely at lights; indeed to music, to caress eyes, this chi as abracadabra—our pure insanity, our mischief love, our vetting souls.
