Sawdust & Pebbles


…such struggle to fly, a weed off-key, or something obscure: those painted mirrors, this inner vice, while thrumming gold guitars: to imagine ecstasies, while afloat some fantasy, or carved from wood: spacial for a heart, rabid for a voice, our souls captured singing demises: (I said little, I screamed in silence, I barely passed at life: such core reasoning, such rich understanding, while Love was sick: those high notes, those intoned muffles, our contours yelling at logic: at terrible feelings, or passionate elation, where one is determined to keep that feeling): thereabout, this interior climate, those interior whispers, our joints absorbing gravity: at terrors but living, at strange faces, but also a stranger: this rare retrieval, those rare acknowledgments, while mirrors are fraught by ideals: at inward pardons, if but to survive, or so careful our souls are roaring: at antique notions, wrestling with societal patience, where art seemed a positive segue….

We know reality, this raving creature, such sugarcane and coffee: a bit itchy, requiring lotion, requiring existence: this intimate angel, demanding our praise, while something needs by evidence: our local arcs, our mental trips, or this child’s voyage: those yellow windows, those silent parachutes, our exterior pangs: to outgrow silence, after years of practice, becoming pragmatic resilience: our harbored rites, this flying with sanity, those cultivated habits: (looking at deception, as such those parts, to interrogate our artists: this man with doubts, those songs fleeing deserts, our anguish fleeing souls: to come to position, while abandoned to wilderness, to meet animals becoming kindred(s): our passionate symphony, this remote island, or eyes sensing dynamite): our running ocean, our peaceful estuary, our loud indecisiveness—at treasured inquiries, our scribbled margins, or days coming so close to evaluations: our havoc cries, our burnished hearts, while remaining sensitive galaxies: at Love by merits, as opposed to numbers, while lose was everso gentle: that sun-woman, those moon skies, at differing realities.

…our palms to sand, our faces pointed westward, our energies typing eastward: our loud memories, those outstanding shrubberies, those beautiful lemurs: our bipolar nature, our scientific clamps, at minutes debating our resistance: this lavish music, this incredible potential, our minds running with glee: this club for optimists, our children with God ahead, at seconds shifting through gravity: as captured novices, exposed so early, deteriorating our intake: at life feeling goodness, or at life a bit confused, while certain joys are held to heart: those sacred discussions, this feeling reality, our meats with cheeses: at wine giggling, at terrors reviewing, or making sense of chaos: our cosmologies, our teleology, our resistance to claiming, nothingness: our large carpets, our hounding elements, our loveable aches: to chime with existence, this remarkable feather, where passion becomes existence: our religious pianos, our existential violins, at something esoteric: this inner penchant, perchance to live, perchance to fly….

It came as music, those scouring emotions, those feelings demanding courage: our souls with delights, a bit familiar with lights, while pushing particular sensitivities: our children laughing, our bodies to worlds, our everything so close to gentility: but seas-overseas, or castaway inclinations, rebuilt into flaming clouds: our rites as souls, our dreams as humans, our deep loveable insistence: this place in minds, those ramped ‘transmitters, our avenues leading to mystic sanctuaries: where days are reflexive, while evenings are activities, to come to rest lingering by rainbows: those touchy sharks, afforded our rabid angst, where pain became segue.

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...
