Existential Gut Care


…oh epic tinge, those screaming bars, this solid steel: those weeks amidst, those months rewound, as something prehistoric: those blunt eyes, those blunt features, or days clammy and humid: this sweat closet, that teeny light, this vocal silence: our loud souls, those inverted reasons, at tasks feeling uneasy: as placed in mayhem, reluctant to bathe, or eating but morsels: our traffic eyes, our gutter secrets, at love with something filthy: this hate for self, this adoration for love, to rewind, step into clarity, and carry a small village….    

I felt an oath, as terrorized idols, as traumatized innocence: that horrified gaze, this plate of side effects, or children at adult warfare: to enhance our masks, this sweet melodic deception, or numen disabilities: that twinge of agitation, those psychological gripes, this feeling causing somatic tears: that valor for adolescents, as mother’s confidant, as father’s disease: at black magic, to reach invisibility, as timeless mental grinding gorillas: our blank stares, this inner seer, as suggested an illness those years she lived: those cold lies, that self-agent, while discerning something weary: those thetic scars, those ferric letters, or too disregarded our totems!

…oh epic tinge, those inner degrees, our nautic mysteries: oh friend of pain, this light so enormous, this darkness chiseling walls: those deep pits, this realized abyss, as pantomime receivers: our locked bodies, our American Foibles, our American Puritans: this case study, this dogmatic iron, this internal war-care: such rough fiber, such rough souls, such impatient reasons: our gongs slammed, our bongos at rituals, our fires as explosive: as something scorched, as something torched, as something misidentified, mislead, and miseducated: those menticide seconds, such deep discoloration, our candent internalization: as pendulums suggest, this swinging ape, our nights seeming unborn: those frozen heartbeats, this gaze-like pond, or our sleeping leaps….

I would feel amiss, if but to ignore, this lore in souls: our strong stressors, our in mind-flutes, our clarinets: as men shook above, or trembling in low states, at something a bit abnormal: that last dispute, our morning eggs, our warm links: to read in silence, each page with noise, each ear-print with agony: our certain cares, our imbalance, our ruined receptors: if but more patience, if but more compassion, than but more love: to see patience, to render compassion, to rinse in love: this life of flowers, our petals dying, as we await our coming season: to leap with anger, to vibe with frustration, to need this particular type of love: as rounded miracles, or silky graces, while ignoring something unexplained: those cherry fires, that swinging pendant, this valued key.

…oh epic wrench, please unbolt harmony, please unlock Divinity: this glorious wind, this unquenchable science, as thrust into clouds: those silver threshing(s), this hectic memory, this tiny inlet: as watery mystics, or serious Physicians, at physics with sunlight: this page in Reality, our faces plastered, our souls cut and pasted: to vanish with license, to reappear with silence, while anger looms by reasoning: our polished behavior, our groomed insistence, or years to chasing philosophic gems…. 

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...
