Sadness curries life, this telic portal,
this resistant message—as pure dingoes, or savage wolves, by fetters addicted
to metaphors: this torrent laughter, as misconceived, our facial encounters—to
witness insanity, while feeling compassion, our souls medicated unto behaviors:
this liquid pollen, this hectic ivory, our porcelain afflictions: if but as
taught, this island of patience, our instincts as autonomies: this vague image,
assorted by lavenders, our violet-blue skies—if but to sing, as sung our
symphonies, our lungs heavy by nicotine(s): this picture made cadence, those
rosary eyes, this enveloped seduction—as dying its incipience, while cleaving
its omega, our grade-school
influenzas—as purposed to love, this lover of souls, affected by sheer
resentments: that casual grin, this tale as self, our mirrors distorted by
self-portraits: that calm agony, those velvet bones, this thought to gripping its
ropes—as pure vandals, our insatiable appetites, as filled with sorrow abating
our instincts: those infant cries, this adult desire, our waves cutting into
realities: that jasper heart, this steep mood-shift, that irrational volt: if
but as lived, our pregnant credenzas, this flight to turquoise as livid its
congestions: that curious feeling, this want for purpose, our eyes determining
if others are equipped with happiness: that sudden hang-up, this fevered
anxiety, our petals stirred into traffic: that cage rumbling, this soul to
afflictions, this woman seated in silent miseries—while living monopolies, as
connected with underworlds, where it felt ecstatic to become psychotic: those
roses bleeding, that tulip grieving, this phone-voice as pure enchantments—if
torn to graves, than life to flights, where passions become nuisances—or nuance
caves, those walls to scribbling(s), those seraphim(s) to music.
Shell-shocked
...you chance rivers, so blinded by needs,
as accustomed to surpass selfishness…this glamorous sky-fire, this torrent in
eyes, this Bhakti extravaganza…. [I
purpose a scream, listening for swans, afire with strangers—as not to provoke,
but truth to essence, We know merely
vibrations…as this is sinning, or winning fragrances, this patch of
cranberries: those webs abundant, this nip by spiders, this metaphysical
Biorè—where souls clash, as pulling forward, while others stand at distances:
this man to lies, as speaking prisons, accustomed to sullenness: that winning
estate, this cryptic atmosphere, to become so steep allergic to ghosts: those
faint prickles, this alarming consciousness, our beds sudden to shift: those
warm waters, this bathing in Jell-O, this quickness to lights as falling
upwards…as casual fools, interpreting invisibility, while whales hanker
silence].
