Swan Chime

…by candid screams, this miscalculation, or tarnished misthoughts: to hope by imagination, this wailing vehicle, or such by comforts those moments: our dragon lives, this Chinese investigation, at tears sawing through iron: this force within, our wellic dreams, insomuch—those transparent mirrors: our spoken voices, our chalice miracles, while daunted by this interior mentality…this darkened sin, that deficit of honor, where immoral reality occupies sunlight: thither, our lives, as caged pheasants, our flippant ignorance: to trespass gardens, plucking our neighbor’s ribs, and sutured with sheer travesty: this black moon, or walking day-night, as we delve deeper into oxymoron(s): those small islands, as we circle tragedy, or better, as we create reasons to persevere….     I misread ambition, while nibbling sugarcane, a bit eager trekking darkness: thereupon, our rubric cries, our desperate deserts, and desserts with vinegar: those shaming ashes, those snail-paced prayers, or this embarrassing insistence: our wants for normality, if but to sacrifice reality, hereto, our partial perceptions.     It depends upon lights, this pond with algae, this tadpole wiggling: those running lioness, that trenchant embarrassment, and, hitherto, we shun reminders: and there it lives, that open scar, that trickling acid: where art becomes tragic, or paired by insanities, as to arrive whispering, I feel you!—this keen creature, as running across Africa, attempting to rebuild an ancient tribe: those sharp emotions, those blooming creators, thereto, this creation with time sitting stillness: to blossom through pains, with capturing rains, while perfection disguises its wounds: those wilderness camels, or nearby donkeys, where forgiveness often means, I love you!—our filmed insanity, our holy reality, and this unleashed abeyance.

…this welted sky, those bleeding clouds, this acidic river: as chosen by darkness, while inverted unto light, where this adventure proves to mold character: those thrumming drums, this humming tyranny, or beige petals leaking sap: to believe in purities, while dislodged by purities, where life drips tragedy: such flippant fire, as to have our reality, where common decencies remain fugitives: this mental leprechaun, this tall white tree, or this burgundy ocean: those flowing tides, this passive ship, this inner Jonah: to feel wrongness, while understanding contempt, but ever to ask, It this a two way Street?—as livid at times, or dogmatic at reigns, while confused concerning interior dialogues: this perfect essence, while feeling distressed, where certain realities must remain silent: those deep roots, threaded by misthoughts, where joy tends to emerge….

I treasure winds, that soft music, while trekking silence: this mythical persistence, this allegory concerning perception, or this reality to existence: as gunning cheetahs, or rabid lions, where kingdoms speak to chaos: those constant upheavals, this torrent sea, or heat burning our thoughts: this broken leaf, or those growing/budding petals, while Love dines upon certain wisdom: that casual mentality, this inherited resistance, or sheer disgust pleading for silence: as color speaks into sunshine, or colorless speaks to nuances, where Love retreats by essence—those bold corridors, this vestibule of ghosts, or slight excitement: to possess mixed intensities, to need certain silence, where purity is protected by fabrication: those metal windows, our closed curtains, our cherished perceptions.                 

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...
