We Treasure Likeness

We’re half asleep, debating wildness, our spirits on vibrate—that rumbling stomach, this insistent control, our winters to fasting(s): those crinkly eyes, this aesthetic built, our richness denying our sewers—as mere men, as crazed lavishly, thrusting for pulling living our porn.  (I changed substances, this reticent confession, while sipping with uneasiness: this mega philosophy, as enchanted by likeness, at odds with instincts: our clear grandparents, our aunts to wines, our saints to treacherous valleys: as died a feeling, to arise holiness, debating if mercy gallops: our charming antiques, those African trinkets, our jewelry-box invisibilities: that ghostly figure, those clammy features, this melting reality—while cursed with extravagance, peering through pinholes, at terrors riding our camels: [this deep fixation, leering into esthetics, a tear too mesmerized to speak…coupled by derriere, or tortured by infant instincts, while abased as ridiculed by insouciant smiles…that bleeding log, to relish at torments, or abandoned to natural-mudslides—as, nevertheless, resistant for Church, this indebted doctrine, our bodies behaving instilled with hypocrisies: our horns flaring, this subtle converse, this woman at his shoe size: those trippy comments, this art to prose, our legacies dismounting for rosaries: this fasting frenzy, at sacred high-planes, to needle a woman’s aura]: insofar, to rescues, this steep disappointment, to rebuild Judas: our trenchant miracles, to love as regardless, seated while knitting chemistries: those concrete roses, this cloudy tulip, this sky to castles—as living up-side-down, or desperate for right-side-up, fretted for love nibbling blueberry bagels).  We trestle thoughts, as pristine as Lamborghinis, a tare to gardens pleading innocence: our excessive words, that first glance, as never to forsake our clarity mirrors: that sandbox infant, that nine year old wisdom, those wings to hopes as partly too shallow: if but as sung, slapping cymbals, or that steep enchantment with drums: that first kiss, this ghetto island, our infatuation with instincts.                                                   
It must be life, this whirl about winds, this weaving of skeletons—or high atmosphere, this leniency towards caters, this buffet of admiration: that kettle resounding, this resonance as lethal, our resistance as masterpieces: this kitten purring, this jaguar nesting, our seconds to completeness—to yearn about feelings, threshed for ruined, at courtside jesters.  It must be love, as so it was sung, this Tao of insistence: those lake-view algae, this swan about ponds, this theater attempting to capture subtleties—as men driven, warring against glaciers, while chiseling our palaces.  It must persist, this magician with hats, our designs partly persuaded: as insecurities, this need for passions, this mizzling insanity: at cuts for perfect, this family with legends, a tear seduced by fleetingness: this human essence, this human condition, those relished excitements—as purity flourishes, this man about disguises, tapping for tugging at lasciviousness: our antic pianos, our morning harps, while one grows resentful towards pompoms: our contradiction, our revealed paradox, this need for incessant enchantments—or deep community, this pleat to love, where seconds become irreplaceable.
