Gut Glasses


I was sickly, loosened by associates, as one captive: this field by aches, this love by wells, at Rebecca this thief: our tears, our agonies, our sunshine: at cryptic dances, at decoded caves, us paleontologists: such architecture, such architects, to rebuild Jesus: our grannies, this flower of passions, our granddads playing kickball: our souls hung, our deep infatuations, our communicative concentration: at psychs with pains, at love with hearts, reading into emojis: our radicalized anguish, this fretting orgasm, those tender, rubescent mind-prints: if but orchestras, if but symphonies, if but those tragic gray skies: our philosophic, our metaphysic, our epistemic: our stoic rites, our protagonists’ hearts, our Poseidon souls—at deep blue seas, or captivated young arts, to envelope something drastic: (at travesty exhausted, at lonely ears, at pomegranates and shivering clouds: this spacial gust, those hectic winds, to sit at raindrops: our cursed aggression, our living aggression, while love called it passion: this flight magic, those inner leprechauns, as needing me-gold: our radical lies, our reserved souls, our daughters feasting upon grayness: such panic to dance, such arts to ruins, while skies wear binoculars: at threat and haven, at landmine and woman, thrust into something so hectic: to dine with Christ, this interior vest, with mystic telephones): this avenue city, those in-wells, where Love sought playwrights.

…we found something, this rite to progeny, this curse this blessing: as rinsed souls, planted in soil, walking into orchards: those violet orchids, this mauve soul, those velvety petals: at rules by love, at monogamy ships, or rescued for abandoned: at entitlements, our last dime, our first funeral: this blade blazing, this land crumbling, this ideal waning: as men to earth, as earth to soul, seated near lemur eyes: this present essence, those lovely arcs, while so far and so close—this torn cliché, this torn passion, those recital mirrors: to sing in soprano, to mask with ecstasy, as souls so clutched for panicked: our last angst, our first pressures, at measures to erase those utensils: (those icons, those media damsels, or so lost reality lives in boxes: such mascara, such pitch black eyeliner, while too distracted to capture eternity: at a pleasant flower-dress, or relaxing disposition, ordained as one with perfection: indeed; but thoughts are sentimental, and Love is grand, and pain is leaking: to see poetry, while another sees anguish, where another shrugs shoulders: this place for few, this number as demented, our algebra as grammatical: such analyses, this numeric index, while totality speaks to something abstract: (that inner fusion, this red window, those strobe lights): as men gunning, if but for experience, to find Love imperceptible): so daunting, so attractive, and so ensconced…!

I drift, Swan, thinking about love, a sick and social wreck: an idyllic man, those deep regions, to awaken pure jealousy: our women as machines, taking romantic inclination, as persistent coquets: such African/Asian love, such European passion, at Belizean damsels: or here in Fort knocks, rocking mentally, at Love speaking softly: that endless banter, those serious seconds, our deep silence: to need this feeling, while souls are waning, where opportunity rages forth: our torn reality, our knitted seas, our redeemed skies: where passion is gray, or passion is detrimental, where one desires near desolation: this scarred space, those tender limbs, our desires outweighing our insistence: those wine headaches, those tender thumps, this travel kit communion: if but to sanity, if but to realization, if but a bit deeper than sex: this space for souls, this clock for women, at granny a bit reminiscent: to lose memories, to regain artificial science, while running into deserted valleys: this sphinx with brains, this ambivalent go-between, at cadence and song, fevered and baptized!          

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...
