Swan Reach

We master segments, Love     spaced in articles     lost to imagination; our categorical imperatives, flitting for flying, angered with politics—our lifespan harmonies     infused with chaos     at some sort of mechanism; this intricate fever     at love with vengeance     that treasure that separates us: if but to flourish, agaze’d by blue jays, amazed by songbirds, this feeling by needs our abysses. I adore potential, with patience to sculpture, a bit flat and flabbergasted: this hectic spin, this present sobriety, those ferns our Sierra minds; as losing silence, while merging in essence, our mothers realizing destinies: that religious sister; that insightful grin; our hearts to candent pressures—insomuch, to scud, this radical nuance, at tears our youth is vanishing: that plate of biscuits; those red beans with rice; this love for Zatarain’s products—if but to wings, as soars a swan, our temperamental Blackness: that inner stopwatch; that outer whirlwind; those studies as forging this imperfect ladder—as hearted for fervor, this rain as cadence, our music as mere reflection; to harvest wilderness, while trekking through mountains, to witness others kayaking through sludge : this face as brilliant, that chaotic term, while words become annoyances; but not so young, as floored in success, where dreams are rooted in sky-rises.     We come to roads, peering at signposts, at wonders about direction: that febrile fire, afloat our furies, as but a smidgen of our heart-kites; as, notwithstanding, and forevermore, this passion to read those fan-sparks; indeed, with vengeance, and, moreover, with decoration, where soulprints embed diamonds.     I see lights.     I hear swans.     I touch a feeling.     I smell lavender.     I taste imperfection.     It comes to memory, as to witness our parts, in spite, of feeling indemnity; as souls fretter, where minds are constructed, while many times we miss our objective; this dungeon of mishaps, where heels dig into soil, as to climb while gripping sky-arcs.     I fathom a feeling, spinning for flying, at solace but a second: our casual havoc, as far too averted, as we fancy it means so little.     I promise by life     this inner distraction     where mirrors must be buffered; but more by love, to coddle a thought, where strangers chime as lost souls: this place of kindness, as rooted in compassion, while havoc intends its purpose.      I write in space, as seeing an image, this bright, brave, and brilliant face; where love simmers, as stew is seasoned, where arms reach.     

Strumming a Harp

By language we speak to audibility and coherence. To compose to feel understood, in spite of language applied. A person spends years misunde...
