…life
becomes pleasantries, or tortured roses, this gate of freedoms: our mantis
daisies, searching for clarities, or abandoned to storms: this relentless
clock, this grandfather cigar, while smoke cleaves to ceilings: our watchful
crossing-guards, our insightful archeologists, well into our ancient-futures:
this bridge of ghosts, this likeness to sin, such atypical forgiveness: our
tragic trespasses, viewed with distance, even appraised with nonchalance: this
existential wind, this epistemology rapture, or this uneasy understanding about
reality: that suede armor, that vinyl helmet, or those philosophic
breastplates: while desiring perfection, but tugged by caimans, to imagine that
our primates stress over transgression….
I recite memories, seated in hostility, a bit curious concerning
mindstates: this orange horizon, this black-knight phantom, or this clear light
image: as pure awesomeness, those trembling bones, as closeness to something
spectacular: our brains as creatures, or psychosomatic wind-benders, where
essence churns perceptions. Years seep
into wilderness, where people drift through prisms, while behavior is often
imperfect: our beauty leaking, where it felt for extravagance, while behaviors
weigh upon conscience landmines: (upon a petal releasing, upon a dream
capturing, where life knits its portrait: this self-imagery, faced by such
impassivity, where a gentle gaze is plundered): this harsh reply, as perceived
as unsteady, where conscious souls forfeit that adventure. I thought to mudslides, this curious
mind-train, as two that loved invert to hate: to carry such distress, while
entering liaisons, where baggage and luggage and turbulence lingers in our
shadows: to hope for newness, at practice such young beliefs, while angered at
yet another soul: this cliff behavior, where responsibility is false reality,
while embarking upon our latest adventure: but hell to reality, if but to have
that moment, while plenty of fish are willing to use us: such carnival
nightmares, this sea of endless wheels, plus, this gravitational tug: our
likeness before us, our charms speaking riddles, our nature at love our
extended selves: this replica of mirrors, as thinking just alike, while
forgetting that we lack this insistent morality: to do as pleases instincts, while
needing something impervious, where decent souls have pledged their existence:
(this adorable lemur, those adorable mating birds, or this incredible Ethicist:
those precise perfections, those longstanding confessions, or this endless wave
of creativity: those prestigious parents, those alumni friends, or more, this
insatiable craving for romance and appropriate responses: or better, that seed
by ghettoes, thrust into reality, where strife molded this academic magician:
such stealth by struggle, such wealth by courage, to stress with vital
vehemence): our dreamy souls, our inner dreamcatchers, our metaphysical
realities. We’re moons afar, this
space in China, our British Africans: this integration of souls; this
distressed easiness; this need for something that wars at life: this grain of
passion, this well of indignation, this inner agitation: our souls churning,
modified by simplicity, where complexities are illustrated: this lens through
perceptions, our shared views, our synchronicity: those welted and welded
words, those rinsed and wet promises, or this ability to trust while receiving
felicity: those rubric chess-pieces, this appeasing tetras design, or more this
life that enchanting soul: to mayfly our swamps, to American Red Cross our
storms, or better, to live according to idealistic principles: to have those
loses, while changed for good, or
becoming this rectitude creature: for hurt realizes intensity, where anger
inverts innocence, while a trained soul refuses to practice thefts: this
encrypted garden, this maze of screams, or this remarkable simplicity: our
chase through literature, our philosophic well-prints, as aspiring human beings: this practical concern,
this theoretical concern, or this theological art-frame: to love while distant,
to aid while extracted, to dance where pain is widespread.
