Nighthawks: Light Wings

…unusually low currents, or benighted atmosphere, scratching dry skin: our oiled dynasties, this radical absence, or such by frenzy those myths of yore: to perfect as dying, those inner rumors, this peace disgraced by acceptance: those fabulous feelings, this rabid sensation, this pit so gentle our tender darkness: to scrape gravel, at raccoons with names, at pleasures something so insecure….

We slip through dimness, alive a murky mirror, as never a thought to clearance: those testy whales, our temperaments awry, reading seafaring literature: our quasi-albatross, our visage disrupted, our beds quivering: if but to fledglings, such humors annihilated, wrestling with reality: this unlikely affair, reamed in undergrowth, debating our arrival: our tender compass, our corner rugs, and that particular mental statement; (hereto, this welted debate, this following mirror, our shadows as plural adjectives).  I heard terrors; I smelled perfume; I spoke to this minx: our eyes glistening; our beings as souls; by such insidious overtures—as, notwithstanding, by lurching darkness, such rabid disjunction. 

…mornings are so awesome, as opalescent dungeons, tiptoeing our ocean’s frontier: our palms to sediments, sorting through seaweed, tumbling through this vestibule of mirrors: this armoire ceiling, our memoire quarters, this terrifying elephant: to carry that soul, aborted to guillotines, revived at essence that gentle song—as complex negligence, such by sky-seas, laughing through passion’s melancholia: as unsung elation, while returning to existence, debating this world by mirrors.  It was solid emotion, threshing his brains, while energies became bloodhounds: this sentient vampire; this outliving of candles; such as wax that rebelling excitement—if but for grasping, gutted by feelings, a tear too gracious about sullenness—our harmonic angst, filmed upon mental-stages, as our cauldrons waft about our soul-firing scents: this atypical jazz, our blues to destinies, such a soul unseen, but considered our inner visits.

It becomes by tussling, this roundabout reality, and this determination for correlations: our panic to feel, as acculturated beings, our needs before our boundaries: our fettering kites, our passing by strings, this wire too thin for maturation: those seams to raptures, this jettisoned memory, as but to myths: our passing(s) through fires, our pneuma-instincts, our mathematical infatuations; whereas, youth was brilliance, our intoxications, this iridescent cinema; or hell to souls, as spawned by addictions, fleeing this need to feel normal: our liver with rice; our souls with threshing(s), this silent song sanctioned by pursuits: if but for patience, as eyes to skies, this jasmine turtle: to have for kindness, this radical affection, where love dies an endless wish: our curiosity, framed in terrific agonies, to sit afore keys at riveting agitations; insomuch, as aberrations, this funeral by existence, to capture with lights immortal-convictions.   

We go for deeper, at tensions with ought(s), our inner magistrates: this field forming flames; this vest vetting violence; this crane causing concerns: at terrible cadence, constructed by existence, our films flickering forces: to perish tangents, our composer with clauses, our songs sung silently: those marvelous cries, as consumed by conscience, at souls to mercy: our minds to lions; our souls to creating; this slithering that hisses its venom—where love defines, this edifice of fulfillments, while one becomes smitten by years of inner therapeutics: that disposition, as shaking its knuckles, at commands splaying detriments: as never so pure, or ever such clarity, while those doors depict such progression: our days to algae; those signs as elusive; this person re-filming upon old imprints.      

Contradictions

  What if signs meant melody? In celebration. Life’s joys wane. If knowing all of sunshine meant ecstasy. (We jot down in a journal, we see ...
