Hither by Wolves
I peak at silence, trespassing configurations, asking softly concerning
love: this trilogy, those séance eyes, this taekwondo—as instruments reciting,
or orchestras criticized, at torments avoiding soul-contacts: our lenses
bleeding, our hands to decades, our loins fleshed with mercies. I peek at auras, this jasmine-blue, our
arenas fraught with lions: this warrior dying, as availed in last words, our
Samson(s) pushing through hyenas—this sweaty temple, our ecstatic spines, this
firry transmitter (that peevish psychologist, this threat to silence, our women
becoming our reflections—to carry boxes, our trucks to gages, this adolescent
first to hands throwing grenades: our Polycarp(s), our martial intelligence,
this agency in Smyrna—as steep Ephesians, blind to cadence, filling with force
this syrup by psychs: those naked rosaries, this cross flipping, such to darkness that incessant laughter: our
maniacal jaguars, those gateway eyes, this hatch as
cedar-wood-annihilations—while crafted souls, alienated from our tasks, falling
into vicious beauties). I limbo softly,
meditated in essence, our brains drawing blanks: as concerned a soul, and,
moreover, a lover, this position becoming frustration: our mechanisms weaning,
this advice to passions, while lingering into fantastical regions: those pegs
as darts, this feeling as smarts, while insecure secern’d by geniuses: that
rabid sensei, those Asian eyes, those brimstone destructions—as fueled for
fires, or flamed for fantasies, this fleece bleeding its furies. I leak through violence, this nether-mother,
at private sessions with profanities—this tug for ages, fleeing for flying,
this fleet of firebirds: our suffering pits, this mental woman, our days to
feeling this missing art…as arcs grieve, while sending messages, this person
far too advanced to ignore…our pragmatic designs, or metaphysic nonsense, as,
nonetheless, this maintenance by balance—as existentialists, reading Rorty,
found for charged this gift of insouciance—if but to scream, our fatal paradox,
at mornings dragged to showers: that swanic prayer, that mother’s fuel, our
grandparents seated in meditations…[it trips a soul, to witness chatter, alone
a pagan’s rooms]—this lighthouse abyss, this purgatorial enchantment, this
flame as reaching into Dante: if but a myth, as sought a soul, peering for
crawling into sunlight: that listening countenance, this wine as gentle, those
bones to marrow as feeling insanities.
(I cry aloud, fumbling, El Shaddai,
reaching into grim reapers—this
memory data, as opposed to free clearance, as arriving while triggered as
unbeknownst: those postern fields, this teak engraving, this sensational ear-verse—as cannons
explosive, or canons determining, this vex in souls needing this luxury: this
inner typo, this languid perdition, our suspicions while life is flowing: this
great design, our tortured sanctuaries, this sacred seclusion—as never alone,
our ceilings to phantoms, those creaks seeping into consciousness: this mirror
laughing, this woman cringing, our rules becoming underworlds). I felt nirvana,
this craft as firmaments, this wheel spinning into existence: our nails
dancing, our hammocks at stillness, this arch-ache keystone—wherewith, those
rude gestures, as determined to sing, while others remained at peace: [this
helmet secret, as needing to condemn, while beauty tugs, notwithstanding—those
ocean roses, this shark to brains, our inversions as swallowed up-chucked to
sands: indeed, with courage, this daughter as immortal, our fathers as scribbling details: our closet notebooks,
that set of car-keys, this ability to unthaw steaks—as pure a suggestion, where
weeds are treacherous, this force in souls loving for passions].
