Swan Leaf


I love you; if but warned to love; where meaning becomes individualized: such odorous arcs, spent for damaged, at nights crying by intensities: those big beige eyes, those sun-ship horizons, at agonies to suggest love: this feudal enterprise, addicted to reflection, at remedies selected: our sky blue friends, if but this anguish, those hips dancing to solace: at Swanship, or casual inflection, our phones so lonely and absent: to die this path, to live this shore, while kicking our interior movies: if but more daughters, to sing as sung, while heroes practice our Tao: those turquoise margins, this interior quadroon, our families underestimating our  rockets: this faceless stranger, this abandoned mystic, at seldom a feeling content: those red/purple grins, this internet trip, at Europe hoping for acceptance: those intricate locations, to hate unto inversion, our worlds surfacing hybrid children: as bent sideways, our sidewalk massacres, while agony took center stage: those universals, this trepid candle, this radical fire.

…this burgundy green moon, this constant reminder, from hell beauty was formed: our register lives, our deep breathing, this cadence slipping but darkness: at serious lineage, at Africa retreating, at Germany falling into portals: our treacherous anguish, our brightly stars, this moonbeam Atlantis: those long legs, those perfected arms, that nape with its horizon: our friendly fire, our armor all tires, as metaphor for rolling into battles: that cautious gaze, those notebook poems, at prose and life stranded at infinity: this deep selection, this cursed science, at swan-life pushing into oblivion: those meditations, this Zenist Flame, at frequencies so charged it became normal: our mothers’ detention, our fathers’ retention, so close but feeling so afar—those round rubrics, this ruler advice, if but charmed to await elation: as stuck in pits, digging with anger, as found too resistant: to reclaim admittance, to climb gently, as arising queen of this fiasco: those charming ways, those charming insecurities, to float with passion: these years developing, this Batman introvert, those political reasons: to wonder concerning deaths, this forgiving institution, at wakes so deep China has requested excavation…those trenchant insights, to trust this mirrored self, to believe beauty has your essence: while cursed for confused, at films internally, to arise so passionate about existence: this daily miracle, this searching intellect, where such has invoked a mirage: our portioned sight, our deliberate trespass, our cured souls: to die with vengeance, to elope with wisdom, as fretting too much knowledge: this winter’s cape, this ever-warm-breath, while realizing something moves in reverse….

I adore this promise, if slipping into pit blackness, while roaming lighted halls: those trips to sanity, while punished for love, where in essence love was a mirage: this vehicle force, this centripetal language, those cries in eyes skating down memories: to soar with allegiance, to come by graces, at rehearsed examples: to find this self, as pitted in self, while self becomes this inclusive self: that interior person, this interior reminder, while loathing this reversed essence: at hard breathing, at cigars and wines, to exude a particular dimension: our hushed insanity, our intangible feelings, while cursed to display subjective experience: this foreign rule, this cooled atmosphere, while adored by treasures: this flight by ransom, to court a miracle, at parents lost by responses: this nonchalance, this typical dynamic, where men become aware of complexion: as yours is plurality, and yours is pragmatic, while yours senses a particular chasm: those jasper thoughts, this mental Mecca mentality, as one feeling indeterminate: this world of maybes, this class of heroes, while each culture struggles for identity: our separate agendas, our competitive interruptions, while it takes one dying for another to rise high: if but those roses, those innocent ways, to cultivate pure existence: as shedding inconsistencies, while cleaving to spoken word, to become an advocate of honest dealings: those portals in chimes, this exotic tulip, this cagey fire.

Worn Senses
