Entrance: (Hard Won)


It becomes difficult, those winter wishes, those mental camping trips: to awaken in memories, or addressing mirrors, while realizing agendas: that steady pace, those ingested foibles, at something believed upon as a miracle.     I fiddle a dream; that loud music; walking into carnivals: to witness damage, or fevered makeup, at terrible feelings: our vinegar candy, our inner electricity, while chasing fame, while grieving fortune: armoires have changed, feelings have deepened, while walls have heightened: our category behaviors, while partial to some, where others come through performance: this world by rules, by social classification, where ostracism is looming boldly: those cages by reason, those adjusted quirks, while something is rising: our pitted bellies, our picturing eyes, our days with too many images: or lost to good moments, such fair converse, where self-consciousness abated.    

…carrots are dangling; souls are reaching; where few are capturing: this long road, that sudden passion, at life by a second glance: those fulfilling crevices, this inner understanding, to realize a good life doesn’t exclude us from thoughts: those vestibules or that maze of doorways, with something nailed shut: at serious thoughts, peering into habits, while feeling mirror-pressures: this vast galaxy, those rapid responses, while growing into a person: our glowing souls, our rippled souls, or that sudden rivet: to watch water speak, to have a revelation, where reality aligns for a moment: our intuition, screaming through our brains, to alight sorrow: to gallop wildly, to return to stillness, to return to something unfamiliar: at candent paradoxes, our memories carrying this life, where something latent revives our hearts: a tear for a friend, despite, this haunted house, notwithstanding, our self-absorbed fears….                                          

...moments pass afar, as our toughest critics, those critical junctures: this ‘thing’ as habit, this habit as confrontational, our screams as muffled: those years passing, our breaths slighted, this chase for something in there: at seconds with comfort, at scars with insight, while wrestling to maintain focus: our swaying minds, those portrait impressions, our scattered imageries: our chairwomen, dating chairmen, or that medley of romances: this touching person, our mirrors afire, those realizations: but life is voyage, this sprint through existence, with much ado about experience: our motivation- factor, our caught eyes, where alertness comes through clearly….

…a career of criticisms, inching closer to our critics, if but sheer acceptance: this space in hearts, this inn deep our souls, at casual glances: or threshed at recognition, a bit moody, or agitated quickly: a bit vocal, a tear demanding, with life winning castles: such pressure, “To be”, this sky-crafted museum, our leagues clashing in battles: those miracle miles, our miracle huts, while surfing deep into our craniums: that inner critic, those inner critiques, while demanding a criterion for assessments: those singing realities, our treacherous inventory, or those suggestions concerning our freedoms: as men chasing, as women creating, where life is captured….

I long for something, a particular utopia, where interaction becomes a bit more fulfilling: but many have those friends, where love is conversation, or love in deep intimacy: those few with charms, that dance with lights, our footprints upon synaptic gaps: that song with icing, those dreams with support, plus, a few insecurities: by mere design, this rubric mirror, by a friend’s empathy: to fly with art, to chance with prose, to adore as inflated: those creative worlds, those diamond memoirs, while living a social novella.

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...
