Thermometer


I flame silently, infused with grapes, fermented and dancing: this black blue mood swing, this incredible passion, those dying increments: to have addicts, to know parrots, to redeem sitting in limes: our brine with liquor, our turkeys with gin, our mothers laughing maniacally: as granny pushes, a bit for wisdom, or grinning no apparent reason: at serious complexes, a fool for Love, a maniac for presence: our Logos Empire, our nerves rattled, our cages unveiling: those tragic veneers, this tragic winning, to encourage daughters towards something relaxed: if but his brains, if but his body, intrigued for released: this battle upon islands, those ghosts our mirrors, this rag keeper: that boosting scripture, to boost a heart, while running for gunning insanity: that perfect dove, those reckless thighs, this maniac beaming: to die with envies, a jealous fool, at Love a smidgen with broken roads: therewith, our inner privilege, our outer embarrassments, to flip with dolphins: those dark secrets, this dark blanket, our years to intimate cotton!

I flame forward, a sensitive giggle, afraid of saying too little: this fuse-box, this fox-life, our chess pieces by strong hopes: at Courage with logic, at mother with distance, while waiting for appropriate behaviors: this pale psych, those pale rules, while needing something from scum: this loquat ghetto, those loquat wines, or spent with cigars: that puff city, our damaged lungs, at therapists minding particular concerns: if but for art, to decode Berlin, to witness walls collapse: at burgundy oranges, or jasper plums, while mother cooks a ham: old school rulers, to invent survival, a household of winners: indeed, or running numbers, our wives in treasuries: those blank lies, that stepping forward, to reverse as interested in one watching: those rooms, at granny’s business, where grandpa was a maniac: our inherited names, our problems with stuffing, our scalps screaming for oils: (as one lost, stretched into cosmos, where Love sits as stuffy as sentenced): if but penchant love, or apricot mentalities, or watermelon on Christmas Eve: as agony infuses, where one is lost, if misery abandons his guts: at Love angry, at Love impassioned, or gunning for myriad pleasures: to sense connections, to avoid rudiments, to flip a flipper: thereto, those 501’s, those turquoise hats, or Love painted for Sunset: such abandoned feelings, such courageous environments, at loud language or pitted in a tux: those canes, Love, those fifths, Love, this whispering incantation, Love: as foreign to losing, but, indeed, he lost, while myriad pigeons suggested dishonesty: at Lords blinking, at Kingdoms shattered, where Love was a Spanish Empire: at Europe dying, if but one ignition, to fuel an entire planet!

I flame thoughts, alive for standing, while impassioned to rethink our cultures: those long-held behaviors, to sense something dying, while unaware of such strong delusion: our mothers at a loss, our fathers going with traffic, to wonder while Lindsay had a breakdown: this smart winner, this losing Empire, or suffocating while looking pretty: at men with vengeance, at women occasionally, while her brains are influenced: this watching cousin, this scared husband, if but a day to miracles: our bleeding noses, our threshed livers, our guzzling but water: at midnight battles, our children sleeping, to hear a cry in mother’s intonation: this life as romantic, to abuse our guts, if but to perish at ninety miles per second: but (arts are good, passion is enthralling, while mother is deep at Xanadu): or crippling habits, this semi-dead-living, our souls at great grandparents: about our generation, this hell-hound, our official bankrupt intentions: at Love with every touch, at dreams forbidden, while behaving as if above notches: to split a Caprice, to purchase a Chevy, at hydraulic experiences: our android faces, our metal emotions, while bleeding in private curled in corners.
