Eerie Phantom


…while sipping God’s Poison, or sniffing God’s Life, this drugless analysis—those mauve daisies, those fair complexes, as endeared to Crosses: this door answer, those vestibule mazes, this mental canvas—to scribble shame, to invert through names, this weltic pendulum: our days to magazines, to slam our dreams, while fretting malaise: thereat, this talkative scarecrow, those firestone magicians, or these remarkable magi—at guts jetting intestines, or musicality sunrises, where death was affectionate: that goddess insanity, this mother as everything, our dire textbooks: to shift existence, those pragmatic applications, or sitting through metaphysical residue: that forever lightning, those thunder enterprises, or this longstanding racism: at father but a ghost, at feelings unsubstantiated, while childhood therapists laughed in private: those milk dead eighties, that frantic elixir, or droves of pigeons: at some with glee, at others with embarrassment, or mother longing for saviors: our needs for pain, this writhing sensational curse, as aloof to anything gentle: but needing gentility, as waxed his guts, where Love was baskets of bread: as fed a minor, this plate of fish, this eating until filled: that phlegm forming, those weeds professing, or at John pleading for favor: our Logos, mixed with Pathos, or years composing this Ghetto Patmos: our rhythms adored, this fleet of white Royce’s, our abandon reaching celebrities: at gaslike redemption, to taste one fair puff, while granny reminisced upon sheer affliction: those gemlike, glasslike rainbows—where trenchant logistics cry, and mother is enlove, and stepfather hates her guts: this market of keepsakes, despite, venom, where one destroys before calling it, mesto revivals: this public forum, this public havoc, those useless cops: that eighties mentality, to beat as one selects, while culprits are led to safety…our screams fretting lights, our bowels fretting justice, where stomachs adore black moons: those gray doves, this intimate snake, or years at islands amid our trenchant cities: this trip for liquor, this mother so involved, or solid dead-hair’d solicitudes: this wealth of passionate pains, this vicissitude of night-glances, while Love adored where silence was majesty: our months to dumbness, our aches to numbness, while Love cheerlead’d this labyrinth of misfortune: such cake with gin, such pie with marijuana, or nights at an ecstatic storm: those misused brains, this faint return, to lose but house, Love and child: our fathers at blatant disgusts, our feelings rabid, our guts laughing from sheer distrusts: as mother peeks at Life, this phantom afar, to hit guts wrinkled and slithering: to shed frequencies, our intestinal radios, this alabaster static: where one listens, if but a grunion, if but a mystery….     …while sipping God’s Poison, this mystical atmosphere, this something for about everything—as livid this destiny, our pelagic roof-beams, or Love lost and spinning through dimensions—this fool at tyrannies, our souls electrified, if but this Asiatic womb: to die with Joseph, or to cry with Rueben, while Judah-sun-game this night-land: if but our core path, this livid mountain, while Joshua returned for episodes: our worth, Love, as never but diminished, to realize private phantoms: to die at ingratiation, as never so pure, while clouds deigned adored by science: those logical maps, this logical depression, our ghettoes flowing through fires: to outwit self, while witty enough, or torn so abrasively: that fair rush, this fair curse, at trigger-happy officers—or infiltrated and schemed upon, where reality was once so gentle, and, therein, became a treacherous vestibule: our heinous concrete, our delectable abstracts, or pounds of pure chocolate unbound: this city invasion, those tragic cries, or palms un-nailed and Christians set free: this slight nudge, this life of suffering, while it becomes reasonable phantoms: if but to exist, at doors giggling, at rooms forced into sanctuaries: that long hallway, those terrible screeches, alongside, this terrible, frightening, as trembling Kingdom…!
