We Die Turquoise Eyes (Vera Wang)


…we calculate beauty, we set standards, we excuse souls for immorality: this preachy tone, this losing wealth, this kelp upon sands: our morning alibis, if but to awaken, if but to dream-walk: those perfect designs, that eloquent muscle, or those glamorous shovels—to blatant his eyes, this swoosh with insanity, or acidic longevity: this senseless dialogue, if but for capitalization, where Love tried beyond beauty: those trenchant lifelines, this likeness to wombs, or this head-aching conglomerate: as scruples reversed, or realities inverted, while aguish bats its eyelashes: this churn about daughters, to forsaken his rights, in honor of religiosity: those memoires, those portfolios, this mystic as danced his grave—at asunder laughing, while pleasing crowds, to essence this burn languid upon floor tiles: our shredded dignities, our twigs sparkling, or dynamics where losers give graces.     …at photos sipping, at remorse dripping, while Love agonizes about ruining life: our trips to graveyards or graffiti to headstones, where elation comes to warn about sorrows: that vignette speaking, this indestructible woman, while days totter about fences: but nestled in prose, to locate her future, this fine specimen needing releases: our dropping hearts, our liquid encyclopedias, or etches to screams livid this psychic dictionary: those forbidden cries, those forbidden lights, as they rupture cutting into marrow—that bold glance, those silent wings, while two are at throats for seeing reality: those lime-lights, this basking semblance, or sunbathed contours destroying our perceptions: this wretched millionaire, those treacherous care-worms, while billion dollar bodies slip into madness: at heinous demands, or casual demands, to abort this life laughing as winning: those serene eyes, filled with psych literature, while angered for thoughts that came immediately: this seeing vessel, as born to addictions, where perfume masked untamed odors.     …its anguish our sights, those pain-filled realities, or this person adorned in worries concerned by infractions—those morbid years, this morbid curse, as never a journey too far from our legacies: at stardust wishes, this mental in-pouring, while undone but lavish those tiny eyes: this small castle, those unsung wings, as dear to art this heart of trumpets: an inner adjective, or our brain’s gumdrops, as magnets dispel this inner definition: our ribcage petals, our sky water fires, where one last hit feels impossible.     …those abstract wailings, our gothic treasuries, or sudden this thought those pearls: to give this pass, if but to search by realities, if but to inhale your vision: this unseen woman, this brilliant composer, this mature elegance pictured in Three-D: that man to repenting, this woman to maniac grudges, where therapy consists of this twofold intentionality: our hopes for destruction, our recourses through triumph, while gasoline drips into livers: this unruly soul, our bowels scribbled upon wax leafs, while beadles push our sensations: those fluorescent eyes, those indie eyes, those split-screen eyes: as uncut realities, our grids speaking Swahili, our minds praying for upbeat dialogues.     I sketch in lies; I repent in cries; if but this excelled death: this life in bars, those eyes in scars, while churned for excited or falling by gravity: this bleeding parchment, this artery glacier, this miserable harmonica: our days in offices, our sarcoline disguises, our absent amaranth smiles: this feudal game, as hoping for depletion, while angered by self-possession—this hug for closure, if but to self, while unraveling threads: this red light, this green helmet, this literary dislocation: while fierce with survival, at terrible undercurrents, where one day distresses and entire month: to give in increments, as hoping for an outburst, while pleading recognition as an intimate confidant: this brutal reality, this Beijing war, or wants for this Notre Dame homogeny.
