Solitary Island


I see distant roads, this fair impasse, and concrete roses: I imagine silence, those wintry chills, and crushed ice: this bellicose gila or this idealized idol, while children worship at unawares: this revving sentiment, our perfect redemption, and our necessary evils: where angels are knitted softly, where chipmunks harvest acorns, or our souls remain tethered: at remote feelings, attempting to feel summer, while drifting in for out—this conscious millipede, or our unconscious tentacles, while reaching for one last cloud: therewith, this fuel for passion, our remarkable sources, our strawberries and grapes: at converse with trees, as witnessed by lions, where snakes stand at attention: such caring illusions, this bout with maya, while stark raving at sadness: this shared empire, those countless hats, and our souls blending our unrealities.      

We construct spaces, our mental geese, our jasper-green ducks: our talkative lemurs, our casual sloths, at regions within peeking at potentiality: this rubescent cigar, this pair of scissors, and this book of matches: where holidays are blurry, while timeless our experiences, insofar, our created miracles: to sense beauty, as so far those galleries, where minds become museums: our talks with ghosts, our meals with macaques, indeed, our morbid terrors: those racing chills, those pheromone tremors, or just as radical our combined ‘transmitters: this aggregate of feelings, this rush through science, at reach to touch this spiritual face: our tablets becoming liquids, our brains swooshing, while built to chase another day: herewith, those miracle feelings, or those miracle scars, insomuch, our altered horizon—as pure lizards, by human structures, while feeding our estrangements: or life be gentle, this casual reproach, while unlocked and shunning life.

Grays are similar, our forecasts for adventures, treading this legendary Darwin: or artists at resurrection, living through our creations, while immortalized in private ambiguities: this soul for essence, those peas for pheasants, and this curse condemning this incessant galloping: our created music, our last batteries, this hard flower presence for fire: as remote beings, while seized by temperaments, where reality seems to taunt existence: but truths to sight, this occasion for senses, where correlations radiate by sequences: this palm of seaweed, this rushing tumbleweed, as metaphors for pressing facts: our human position, accompanied by our human condition, where essence floods our gates: our fasting frenzies, our fragile concerns, as feelings grow astringent with pain: this leaky faucet, this thinking wound, and our fair catastrophes.

Our years are realities—or strong delusions, our masks blending our preferences: this series of confusions, this stressed orbit, or days to palms of sawdust: hither, our dreams, as returning to city quarters, if but congratulated for fairer those vices: that voyage through deserts, our harping realities, this wavy falderal to spectators: our morbid chase, our spectacular captures, or our testimony seeming extravagant: those tears as poets, this flame for arts, or our thirst quenched by illusions: as men constructing, where women weave—our children oblivious to partialities: our whistling flutes, our scorpion friendships, while something lingers beneath our surface—those concrete ropes, this fiery excitement, or those first three years: as needing exhilaration, while chasing omen fantasies, to exhaust one’s life through promised unrealities: this space of passions, this hope in dreams, where one reenters our public domain.               

Empty Space

    I’ve been in this space before—it seems natural, the affection of energies. Such interwoven moods, a series of underpinnings. A differen...
