Genetic Spirit Churns
…this Hindu dream, this Indian power, those wretched wishes: to tame a
maniac, or gorge our blood, dripping-for-failing alive this last disaster: that
Sufi goddess, our blank madness, at tropical mind-forces: this winded export,
this inner glassware, our terrified fires: as men dying, those limbs reborn,
this hip pushing for bruising insanity: thereto, our mistakes, our lavish
eyelashes, this outer brain-core. I saw a yogi, our liquor our debts, puffing
our nicotine: or Indonesia, or lemur furs, riding for galloping those spurs: to
laugh our lungs, peering at derriere, gripping insanity this wild native mare:
as dolphin cries, or dolphin eyes, that bar that tavern our nights to blood—if
but to cherish, as remote this island, nibbling for tasting an achy neck: this
caiman gin, this caiman pen, our turbid lakes seething with vengeance. I
macro life, at micro-pains, or lavish for misery our screams: those perfect
webs, this nest of diamonds, those breasts we die at birth: this curse chasing,
our women groaning, our panties directing earnest—this mythic music, our
allegorical(s), this anaconda strep for body tears: those teeming ponds, this
lady-tadpole, if but by fairytale to exclaim this sexual map-war. (We shift gears, such bio-chemistry, this
Zen Buddhist: to die with aches, as lives a scoundrel, attempting to mate this
dynasty: our blank woes, our teddy-bear cries, this shoebill becoming
emotional: that Chanel face, those Neutrogena screams, this birth as cut
afforded a dozen psychs: that glossy room, those shorn appetites, this inner
psychologist: where mother whines, if not for laughs, while so cruel a ghoul
leaps: thitherto, our adorable freckles, our remorseful panties, our nights to
redeeming that first enchantment: those torrid years, this torrid jeer, our
fears in bottles those city puddles: if but to exhaust, at feelings by rawness,
this century to removing our scars: those ankle-high jeans, this mind to
fantasies, this woman smiling: our men laughing, our women serious, this inner
certitude ravished by silence—as born to genetics, this intellectual sponge,
this territorial gauge: as, thither, cursed, this denim jacket, that gentle
stomach: as kissed at corners, while laughing liquor, this drip into insanity:
where father chances, as rapt’d in ecstasies, this place in our purgatorial
apparitions: as women in suits, or Muslim scholars, or this Islamic minx—while
ribs shatter, imploding with chaos, our fences taped with Red Cross). I
met a Mason, as torn this passion, laughing in silence looking quite serious:
this Taoist goddess, this frozen bleach, this wintry cub: at tears laughing, at
terror’s obligations, winking for thought I
saw…this moonlit beige, this cagey attraction, this temperamental
cage—where Love was genus, or captive-unborn, as more that vehicle needing but
one first experience: in truths, we dream, in scars, we sing, at traumas, we
dance: this flying unicorn, or that pale rose, as lives a man sickly at Love:
this terrified reindeer, that explosive Diaspora, that inverted Holocaust—as
sung his guts, gripping for deaths, at last-laughs aborted to prisons. We survived deaths, at God with highlighters, our addicts this new adventure: our sober angst, our summer Love, this
trip embedded in Greece: those Latin women, this Belizean mistress, this Jewish
at soul-wars: our possessed friends, this overseeing dynasty, those welts to
brains as standing in stillness: that mental hospice, this meter of seabirds,
our bipolar museums: where men fall, as women rise, but such is Love to grasp
our wrists: that mythical woman, this womb to sights, this agony to lights: our
fluorescent passions, this arctic fox, as becoming so humble: our Thich Nat
Hahn’s, our trembling Sunshine, this hospitable red hart: at bridges leaping,
at dreams suspended, at Swarovski crumbling: those jasmine thighs, that auburn
mane, that invasive glitter!
