Working in Halves: Something Mocks Internally


…to perceive fog, we dwell interior fog, while dying to escape: this light raving, this heathen pleading, to flit as swarmed by bees: this camel, that eye, as crawling through: our bowels, Love, our ethnicities, Love, while hybrid children are ignored: or death to Santa, and death to Phantoms, while infused by ghosts: this morbid seed, your morbid smiles, while consumed by right vs. wrong: but hell to reason, and hell emotional blackmail, while siding with logic: this informed damsel, this unstoppable anger, while fakers beg for insistence: this sidewalk stalking, those years in college, while old knowledge is instructed by new knowledge: such wild skies, such catering glory, or repentance at ten years to age: our dying hearts, our pleads for invisibility, while hampered by hatred: this stranger at needs, this daughter at loyalties, where something feels un-ordinary: those small fevers, those fevered horizons, this inner chapel: to hiss with silence, to pet a petit monster, while others seem content: those legal escapes, this pampering from family, while old behaviors have become our new millennia: to shock existence, to hear those dreams, to rebuke those behaviors: this perfect remorse, this perfect curse, or that perfect classism: indeed, this perfect lemon, those perfect screams, as detached that old life and feeling good: to hate memories, to loathe a friend, to link in total embarrassment: to own a new life, running from inner techniques, while failing this new enterprise: where men whistle, and men walk, and men carry this perfected image: to lie with grace, to fall to floors, where it must be true: that tiny laughter, that mental railway, those incessant behaviors….     I speak at rivets, I hear as sensing, or something has palm-prints: our battles with sons, our sons dying, while, nevertheless, we feel good: in a subtle sense, in a permanent denial, while Love is acting grayly: our intuition, our kaleidoscopes, our lying wisdom: for it shouldn’t be true, this wonderful angel, this sinister angel, this proud and civilized angel: something polychromatic, this wealth of colors, this present heat: our scratchy necks, our itchy flesh, where it felt like heaven: so spicy and deadly, to become defensive, where punishment is alienation: those graves, as feeling intense, where one would acquiesce: (but yours is understanding, if be it an offense, to close shop and look forward: this strange language, these strange poems, this strange man): where opaline essence dwells, and opalescent dreams linger, at iridescent charms: our arms so short, our prints as deadly, where a gesture uproots portions of sorrow.     …it was light to sense us, those lucent seconds, where families are unaware of thoughts: this catered flower, this reticent sky, or this talkative art: at refulgent beliefs, while held captive, as announced to a chosen few: our blue-blood, our resplendent dynasties, at trenchant disgusts: but life is normal, as normal would attest, while abnormal creatures should be destroyed: our passionate, perfect castles, those others to dregs, while volunteer work is for those searching: as found as perfect, as born as perfect, where God is repenting: at waves stressed, at tiers leaping, while hung in spirit: this favorite fool, this frantic fleeing, as failing forced to suffer….     I met Ingrid, I died mysticism, I disappeared and returned: I met a heathen, I felt at home,  I died a heathen’s allotment: this confusing drama, as one for the other, where respect seems unimportant: this motley of madness, this varicolored nightmare, or this number three trophy: where men perish, as women die, prepared for that final interview: our lies trump-tight, our language petrified, where reality is unexpected: those years to purgatory, this intense death, while never-again to remember: our conscious souls, as ever at life, but unaware of pass consciousness: those birds mocking, this soul swarming, to break into particles: (as those eyes reach, deep into concentration, to remove self from idiotic(s): this mild man, this wild man, this dinosaur man): while life is hectic, I need to participate, despite those deadly secrets.
