Upholstery

I’m driftwood, appalled and frightened, and ever so detached—to crumble annihilation, this portal through time, a tear to alienation—that crying music, those blues-veins, that jazzy soulprint—as died to love, an abbey rug, so trampled by foot-scars: that terrible elation, this flux with winds, our inwards praising chaos—to shun normality, that horrible placemat, where pigeons ingest rice; that torn explosion, but so eclectic, our grandchildren musing rosy literature: that false imprint, at fears by decades, those clutches by horrid houses; as lived infatuation, retreating into caves, a soul fraught by denials.     I gripped a pillow, while snatching guts, such Bhakti wreckage—to floor his brain, that image glaring, our immortal parents—if but to live, soaring through blueprints, peering into purple passions—where love was vacant, as love was present, our velvet and ivory and cyan shames; where mother was born     so addicted to mourning     those Weldon taupe eyes     as father plummets     those internal graves     by ecstasy to excavate a scream. I never knew it, so to dying for love, where Love forfeited our rights; as hellish Decembers, our warmest winter, our tepee mental visions—as plural sensations, to have struck a nerve, seated so near but so distracted—where privilege becomes funerals, while heavy that terror, at loss so vague to words: that casual elation    by close a thought     this mammoth by tears a clove     as died a mind     that permanent countenance     those sad somber features; where gods muse, our singers to treasuries, our days pushed that inner cymbal; insomuch, a dream, this delicate soul, to crash by tremors those brains-over: a mere shadow boxer, or a cunning man, so practical that injustice: our Denley lamps, while plaguing hearts, our drumkits on reset—as, nevertheless, those months to studies, leering into contours, at passions that spirit by leather: those graphic vines, to implode thunder, that trek for running at a deep haze—where psychs manage, that inner plethora, kneeling near a settee.     I became flatware     plagued by house-sitting     probed by inner dimensions: those years as anti     that doctor as bipolar     this dream by scientific stigmata(s)—where souls are unipolar     a palm to a smile     those seconds but a spurt to ruin lives; indeed, an Atwood desk, our reason at travesties, while gleaming near a blank screen: that tremendous depression, at fuel those hours, by sudden reach a masterpiece.
