Born this Way (Double Faces)


…make us up, distinguish our children, and teach a swan: at broken islands, taking courage, condemned to mood-swings: those terrible feelings, those in-house spiders, too dislodged to kill it: as remote and running, this roof screaming, this minx too embedded: our shattered charms, at mother’s first rehearsal, while so steep our bodies are sinking….     I’m difficult life, seated with flies, those tiny flappers: at guts ruined, at thoughts rejuvenated, at passion recanting: this foolish believer, to need something abused, to want for cries broken in parts: our crazed feelings, this crazed woman, to fall asleep—those wheels spinning, those chimes as dogma, our arms reaping grimly: if but to adore you, or but to bore you, where sudden upon emotion: this wealth, this climb, those bold, relaxed eyes: our aches laughing, our souls glowing, our passion so in destinies: at neighbors with questions, at Love wrangling, to come so gently screaming most as more: this land of villains, this sandbox with eating sands, or those dresses screaming, I’m alone: if but scientific proofs, or emotion upon rafts, to dice so gently this mirage: our hell-bound guts, our unstoppable legacies, where so many forgot pure sexuality: this safe-need, as Love suffocates, but our rules are concrete: to have this vice, this radicalized maniac, those longing limbs: otherwise, at deaths, at sheriffs, at something too intangible to digest.

…we run and gun passion, at tender satisfaction, to remorse a cabinet of wrongdoing: this fabulous castle, this evening mistake, where things appear in shadows: our children watching, our lives according to us, while fathers are fully embarrassed: this premier existence, this mascara slipped into, while Love abandoned something irresistible: those cutleries mincing, our celery with creams, our aches with entanglements: if but to resist, or but to ponder, while so many stories blur into insistence: this weekly charm, those deceased emotions, while Love pursues particular choruses: at bleached flesh, at long extensions, at glue and eyelashes and deaths: our sweet amore, our insistent cures, at film city….

…moments to exist, seconds to decide, or minutes to escape: our banished souls, so inclusive, while reaching for something embedded: our prime forces, tugging at resistance, or so disenchanted we persist upon facts: our plagued intestines, our wines with grapes, our short hiatus: to scratch at meaning, to probe at black science, while so alert it aches to dream: this vague, elusive missive, this shampooed carpet: as aches our necks, carrying insanity, attempting at this conceptual consensus: our deep consents, our feeble lights, where it felt for goodness: our minds shunning, our hearts vibrant, our bodies gravitating—at something reckless, this anti-conformist, or this person so in need of acceptance….

I come to you—laughing at us, while friendly enough to solicit a smile: those charming armors, those long lived anxieties, or grandmother’s wit: at tyranny concerns, at relaxed Jaws of Life, so condemned it’s hard to resume—this passion by animals, this vex in veins, or those few persons so alarming: our casual heights, our darkened beliefs, where some realize pure deception: this hanging leaf, while gutted by questions, to deviate from something considered honest: but yours are facts, and yours is altruism, where one would never deceive you: this challenge in lives, this game by controllers, to need submission…by means stagnant, or static, while one sees this in self: this comfortable game, this insistent reality, where we realize a certain electricity—or crumbled paper, carrying our wishes, at ropes giggling—this sin in universals, this whisper as winning, at this promise that feels like a mistake.

Worn Senses
