Sweet Ambrosia: Sought as Scientific
I scream about, Naylah, this inner resonance, this killing soul-ache:
our breaths, as mere humans, alive a thousand divinities: those glossy eyes,
this fever in men, our abilities to behave nonchalantly: this woman’s husband,
her infant swan, or this marvelous leviathan: that caged sensation, this need
for comforts, those incandescent tulips: our gorilla instincts, our morning Exercises, this Gertrude flaming within this immortal swan: to cave with
silence, to otter our souls, where bearlike travesties accuse of
bestiality. I love a Being, dripping through traumas, at wars
our childhood mothers: this gate to minds, this gait to passions, this slight
churn residing in keen observation: those psychology palms, that psychiatric
membrane, those educational gaps: our chainsaws, our cedarchests, this original
symphony—as losing perspective, cut for slain, at tears to enter due to
complications: that island tripod, those bubbling feelings, this man so lame as
sensing love. (…at five with sugarcane,
or ten with sherm leafs, floating as adrift this perfect horizon: those blatant
mind-chills, those seconds by fertility, those moments of hibernation: as
genetic scoundrels, pleading consensus, if by worth to cherish our names: our silky
waterfalls, our frozen emotions, out thermostats as autumn brains: […our
beloved, Naylah, this incredible sinner, this inner desert-tree: where Father
voiceprints, or steps into roses, with curious concerns those naked dahlias]:
our Pacific sun, our moonlit gazes, this mental wall: where souls forage, or
frolic freely, at feelings dying by resurrection). I admire, Naylah, this woman so afar, while
seated a heart-skip northbound: this swan laughing, at intricate developments,
by seasons trading in her cameras: those rebuilt engines, that antic
transmission, those mantis eyes: as churning realities, while born for
redemption, at turns, pleading sacrifice: those voodoo tales, this swimming
cactus, that chameleon incentive: where arts are bleeding, this bone by
gristle, those thought-particles and litter.
I watch, Naylah, if but by brains, kicking for trampling splinters—this
archeologist, tugging at cultures, arrested by investigations: that inner
scientific, that outer spiritualist, those dreams as confused: insofar, our
distant bridges, this leaping concrete, our gummy attics: if but by terrors, to
die so freely, this reckless force so buoyant: those cagey aggressions, this
softness at random, our scalps itching by silence: as terrible souls, laughing
at terribleness, but confined to this purgatorial prison: those mahogany
calves, those nylon thighs, those mothlike intrusions—whereas, I need
conviction, if but by Naylah, if but by resonance: this future inverted, our
mirage born kisses, this fish speaking in Swahili: our Nigerian blood, or
African pride, our Ethiopian brides—where primates gather, filled with phobias,
communicating with caimans: those alligator eyes, that crocodile zeal, this
dinosaur lineage: as men chasing, our women running, to claim with vigor this
definite agony: our spinning daughters, our allergic mothers, our empirical
soulprints. I magic with, Naylah, this
cave as sensing, this motive as communion: our stippled dreams, our acrylic
visions, our windy bedrooms—at orangutan courage, our siblings dancing, our
stepmothers volcanic: to tell Naylah’s story, or Beyoncè’s inheritance,
nibbling invisible earlobes: this shift in reality, this coming into existence,
our existential pragmatism: indeed, a farce, or more this curse, while peering
into actual properties: that amorous soul, those amorous glances, as reaching
for something that disappeared: those sakata prose, those storyline poems, this
welkin sestina—while accursed for living, at charities waltzing, at life by
sheer trepidation: those goosy wings, this goosy soul, those nutty eyes: if but
to sing, our sons as kings, by drama our aches fleeing into concerns: those
chimpanzees, our apish soul-ties, our bonobos steep by concentration.
