Erase Us


...we plan on dying, abused and losing, or a few winning: this forgotten legacy, this Asian wit, or counseled for destruction: to love with demons, to live with demons, to approach mirrors seeping into demons: this reversed meaning, this casual Caucasian, this blood blue diamond: to walk lakes, squinting at squirrels, or feeding alley cats: to ingratiate pain, to court pain, to flee pain: our abused states, loving as never imagined, to grip, die, and come to life: looking at Beauty, over a mentality millennia, or so cursed it feels goodness: this black river, our nebulous horizon, our days feeling existence: those ripe passages, those ripe prayers, at tendencies ripe for plagiarism: this existential metaphor, on dreams to mimic existence, if but your life, if but your problems: as probing darkness, listening to banjoes, searching into nightfall: this loser winning, this daughter winning, this game to mother’s benefit: for fathers have approached, falling a particular trait, while divorced from malady: this fair claim, this aim at sensation, while cursed for despising certain viabilities: this moon rising, this afternoon surprising, this anxious perfectionist: if but to live, concerned with maximums, this matrix undergoing evaluation….

…we plan and re-plan, looking at Gorgeous, a bit pitiful and climbing: our detached prose, our bowels roving, or blue to livers swollen near upper backs: at tragic concerns, at love but sickly, at nightmares adjusting said love: this incredible possibility, this betrayal of culture, at radical claims gnawing with tigers: our battled bones, our resilient bones, at Ezekiel pleading for entrance: this broken machinery, this happy element, while looking sick with penitence: at marbles pitching, at dice looking backwards, at Love keeping to distance: at gentlemen escaping, while honest concerning features, but ablaze a curse seeking loneliness: those beige armoires, seated so closely, to effect a living-room in blood gremlins: (our guts, Love, our features, Teach, or this crush rushing for failing its escape): at days, even years, with thoughts—this flying frenzy, this cordial demand, while it felt good to fantasize: our blazing liquor, this family grunting, as if life has anything to do with them: this private haven, this twelve piece, those people agreeing with each other: but life is good, to live in a certain segment, to ignore pure evidence…or blunted for ruined, at Flintstone beliefs, while nations are evolving…!

I come to God, tugging as needing, where God looks and passes assessments: our seasoned thoughts, this inner reasoning, to insist that others sense as we sense: this war infection, this curse since adolescence, to realize much hasn’t changed: as wrinkled in hearts, of threshed in hearts, to feel consensus while feeling disrupted: this inner conflict, those rare pursuits, at evilness laced as goodness: this inner jute, to believe as God, to figure God as thinking like us: our purple insistence, to ask concerning reality, where nothing matters as much as being right: this evil person, this sick person, as God must hate his guts: oh to feelings, while denying reason, to imagine intellect as pure emotion: our territorial nightmares, our deep epiphanies, as ignored holding to one tragedy: this maniac at reason, this tragic realism, while thrust into feral sightings: but yours is peace, living for logic, but threshed by emotion!
