Swan Water


…at luxuries shinning, at honesties dying, or plagued by internal forces: but yours is courage, this symphony of affections, those blurred realities: as coming into, this land of womanhood, abandoned to studies: this plank of lullabies, our crazed tendencies, to lose while winning: at quicksand existence, rabid but kosher, or mad for something seeming foreign: at humorous segments, at rainstorm realities, our slurs and signs: to give existence, awash’d in tyrannies, exclaimed as something precious: our trenchant circuits, this symbol in chimes, at swords thrust’d as henchmen: this incredible song, those incredible wishes, at present a nightmare underrated: those physiognomy impressions, this quadroon existence, while needing a certain dialogue: our worthless clues, our passion waning, at life attempting at something normal: at nonplus wilderness, at immortal love, or freedom seeming a particular freedom: this wealth of cities, those irregular pressures, this redeeming college adventure: if but three glories, if but three charms, if but something resembling normalcy: because life was gentle, plus, evolving, to realize life as one competition: improbability gambles, as fate becomes an enchantress, where existence becomes a wrestling match: our tales for lunch, grappling with tall stories, while afraid to point at inconsistencies…our spellbound literature, our trying hearts, our mental software—as deep in trenches, at tales with giants, while raving over something questionable….

I felt a glitch—roaming interior countries, spacial for traumatic: this solo voice, against this conglomerate, where souls are claiming religion: this outcast, this feel good high, at terminals reciting electricity: our murals in psyches, our psyches driven, while something is holding pavement: while born to intimacies, alert to compassion, but slighted by occurrences: this life in vows, those vows trespassed, our existence dependent upon tear but foggy: those inconsistent seconds, those leaking truths, while we must ignore such penchants: our new day breezes, our fabulous morning, our need to reassure something guarding our fortress: indeed, this life of romances, those truths so delicate, while wanting to reward kindness: those inner travesties, or this blank encyclopedia, while late nights writing in dark print: at metaphorical life, at simile and dance, at lyric and compromise: this existence by wilderness, this tragic reality, or chanced as one keeping secrets: that rapture of pegs, this rapture called upon, or love seeming impervious.   

…something is tugging, this energized particle, this list of captures: our travesties in lightning, our rehearsed responses, or those particular trespasses: our needs for perfection, while seeming imperfect, where such and such has a family: by seething frenzies, those normal emotions, while feeling guilty: to watch a certain essence, to need a certain undertone, while rarely at articulation: our souls at gates, our gates at fences, our fences awaiting our command: this inner building, upon its pillars, while our winds seem silent: this place in tension, at sights unmentioned, where something private pinches consciousness: at torn feelings, abashed by reality, while harboring a few resentments: but yours is courage, this orchestra of passions, while running for affected deeply: these tragic realities, to haunt our adult relations, while seeking guidance: this internal feud, those atypical anxieties, or something seemingly unimportant: that need for balance, so far into existence, to sudden upon bended knees: our mild understandings, our medium resonance, at required delicacies: that lingering forecast, our cloudy living rooms, or this doorpost seeming with presence: our intrapsychical realities, our brains manifesting lights, where something out there impresses upon something internal: this roller kite, those small dolls, or particular essence: to recite softly, a valued belief, while thunder plagues our whereabouts….

    I’ve been in this space before—it seems natural, the affection of energies. Such interwoven moods, a series of underpinnings. A differen...
