Genetic Memories


I have dreams, rising in genetic screams, as pinched forbidding entrance: this chaotic spell, this internal jail, this removable wall: as falling frenzies, abated by beauty, enchanted by riches: this space in souls, this electric wire, this immortal dejection: as men living, or women afloat, coaxed for ruined this mothering calamity: our office aches, this churn in souls, this essence bleeding chameleons: to harmonize lights, while disgruntle dearly, this reason to act with purpose: this strange face, this moody lightning, this hungry appetite: our Aristotle’s, our Wolfing manias, this Hughes’ catastrophe: as living by tenets, or goddess principles, a sylph at a man’s intestines: that curious flight, this doctoral reality, our disavowed theses.  I have visions, beyond supernal, rising in shoebill synaptic(s): this angry aesthetic, this incandescent mystic, this Hindu manuscript—that table leaking, those tomes laughing, this soul rebuilt upon nonsense: or torn adolescence, to break with excitements, while ruined for perfect by age twenty-two: our cavy angst, this war with science, this page defeating our endeavors: as Greene informs, where Plato becomes immortal, or anxious this philosophic disease: where flights are distinct, this alley with roses, this sewer those oaken leaves—those red blades, this mahogany wilderness, our immortalized deserts: this place at souls, that melodic Rihanna—our redeemed Aretha’s.  It’s lined to laugh, reflecting through orphans, at wars concerning such plight: this mother and father, this battle for brains, this sharing as losing identities: those beige algae, those mental larvae, this cocoon bathed in caterpillars: those flapping wings, that moist body, this flipping as deranged sensing genetics: our playful pups, those sorrowful eyes, that reckless excitement: to sense with passions, this robust intellect, this envious ferret.  I have dreams, this prophetic aero, this penchant for acrobatics: this flimsy address, this marvelous minx, this remarkable secretary: our days to madness, our walks to oases, this curious squirrel demanding strawberries.  We wing to fly, as afloat a thousand screams, reading into Adele: this magnetic essence, this sad overview, this intrepid reception: our strategies waning, our resentments high, peering at what we can’t receive: this heart of bull-ants, this aging caiman, our dreams coming by decades: that touch of self, as lost to mysticism, our intestines sprouting mayflies: that Buddhist image, those swamps by beauties, that reluctant crocodile: if but our palms, to grip our lights, to re-manufacture our childhood dreams: that squirming tadpole, that leaping frog, those heights as screams demanding human-hood: if but our arms, reaching our beliefs, while confused by actions vs. thoughts: this internal paradox, this term by forces, our mentors too esteemed to mimic.  (I have visions, this land by immortals, our tales to infants: this legacy dancing, this animal with grit, our days to polishing independent brains: our daughters laughing, as struck a bone, as funny becomes morbid: this growing affliction, as maturing with fruit, where something loses its appeal: but touches to beauty, those Rembrandt portraits, or Raphael’s malady: this artistic element, this painting dilemma, our aches searching for immortalized classrooms: that Buddhist professor, or that Catholic lecturer, or those Christian Baptists: where thoughts are squeamish, as actions impure, while secrets leak into University wars: our dreams screaming, our genetics bleeding, as needing this position given to God: our lax’d mornings, our vigorous afternoons, our intellectual nights: by passions to souls, or Sufis to brains, reading into apostolic experiences): that skating vocal, those rafting membranes, our neuronic laughter: this swan to skies, this drift through tides, this swoosh as awakening to dreams: our local heart-scrapes, this underground brook, our song as distressed seeking its freedom: where dolphins play, while whales glide, if but a thought to hearts!
