Mansion Mice


…at interior doors, hanging garlands, listening, wavering something intensive: to open eyes, to sense you, to realize a good person, (but tugged intensively): such firebrand, such astrology, while so gifted: our damp swamp, our terrible cadence, as approached by gila monsters: those addictive years, as never such grace, our apathetic compulsion: at watery skies, sipping acidic rain, bathing in something complicated: our muddy mountain, this horrid reality, while speaking about Jesus: such treachery, such facial insistence, while prone to sadness: such bold cries, this ignorant passion, this lucky death: if but by rose, this legacy in souls, our keen romance—those tired blueprints, our patient sun, at mornings disguising distrust….

…we gentle our storm, abased and wilderness, our coppice rushing into levity: those christic eyes, those cultic grins, this death so sweet: if but our animals, if but our treasures, if but our renegotiations: those banda instincts, this group of instruments, this melic-drama: this strong notion, that powerful scent, that chorus womb: if but to mention, as not to inflate, while precious a turn our alleys so darkened: our leitmotiv, our interior cadenza, while witnessed by doormen: our last cries, so embedded in miseries, so melancholic—at deep discussions, negotiating our tyrannies, drawing our horizon: those picturesque faces, so plural our abasement, at blue shivers our rivers invisible: to rush and pamper, to wipe our eyes, to sense something needing existence: to fall to pieces, right before patient moments, our minds seeming unsung: this space in souls, this agony bent towards winning, while having so much torn through tomorrow: those wildfire gestures, those various marks, those defensive characters: our nailed coffin, our desperate hearts, while I pine for electricity: this need for passion, our buzzing ears, to want just enough so outstanding: whittling cedar, whittling intensions, or whittling our first sincerity….

…we recite in color, those jasper flights, those black oaken eyes: to collapse from much, as seen for purpose, our bodies doing magic: gripping grass, this tussock of insight, studying something ontic: our critical seconds, our intensive moments, to tug so emphatically: while born to baptism, such promise those eyes, while harassed by something mantic: this space upon woes, those prosaic complications, so vulnerable, so unshod: to pant by mandolin, to fret by guitar, at threats and cellos and violins: this rage in passion, to gather our beings, while winning this loss of roses: our fair disaster, so radically sweet, our flux, demand and irony—this land of camels, this nature concerning gnats, our mirrors oblivious but reciting reflection: as rippling souls, so captured it stings, where essence dies for Mercy’s Grace....     …upon a teardrop, this arousal in souls, our combative discipline—as realized disciples, such apostolic pastures, so emphatic it was difficult to resist: this knotted belly, this knotted reality, at cores speaking at fountains: our days to magic, our minds to remedies, or passion so askew it’s difficult to forfeit: such voltage, pure electrical, while moving into something promising: our signage breath, our interior disagreement, our winds speaking in French: at tiers of light, at careless caves, as crushed upon beautiful melancholy: this curse in men, to sense disarray, to become a hero: but Love is so gentle, and Love is so dangerous, but Love is so delicate for this touch: such bluegrass, such mystical sugarcane, such reward our seashore abandonment: to fret injustice, but bodies resonate, and processes promise a wild adventure: where miracles live, this sin in souls, to win with a glint of distrust: this courageous survivor, this curious dolphin, this interior swimmer: at ocean ember, at mantis prayer, or terror so embedded it felt heaven….
