Swan Water


…such witty angels, at angular grins, such swanic life: as needing love, something irrefutable, spent for receptive: such family dogma, such internal tenets, at marginalized precepts: so disobedient, so independent, washed in something slippery: our mucus hearts, charged and flying, so early our morning teas: at blueberry memories, while avoiding self, a bit curious concerning disposition: that blue moon, that invisible star, or deeply intense emotion: an upheaval, our guts churning, this floor so romantic: a fallen kiss, to assist dysfunction, while many are rare to admit science: those curses, those subtle reminders, while mother combats winds: as gripping air, or choking dust, our dusky skies, surprised to hear whispers: this haunted lieutenant, this tepee captain, our aches upon Vision Quests: so alive, Love, so wretched, Love, or so involved in mother: at feel good motion, or strained to confess, while reading a friends letters: such gravy with honor, such repetition with stagnation, to sit, relax, and fall softly….

I see leaguers—receiving this lamp, replacing this table: amazing to live, at deep enlightenment, to realize breaths: to know existence, to relive her patterns, to liquefy agendas: this subtle swan, this heiress swan, to distant beige horizons: those purple denims, those purple scarves, those purple feelings: as screamed in roses, to awaken lilies, where daisies search for funerals: those longer rules, those deep circumstances, to live as one a bit moody: at silent nights, those deeper meadows, while cougars sit looking peaceful: such deception, this vicious kingdom, this malicious animal: but life was rosy, and time was adjusted, and mother was swimming: this wired existence, those philosophical giants, while music brought Love to pensiveness: a tad detached, a tad too close, while tiptoeing sentiments: those incised measures, those inrush seconds, at thoughts so early those journeys: to provoke a canyon, to erupt a volcano, while alive at Death Valley: to trek passed Ethiopia, to love and adore and need something flying south: to feel so mis-captured, seeping into exile, at family feeling this need: those tired angles, this roaming city, if but to erase so much—at brain and clutch, at engine and bone, our souls requiring oil: so flushed, our algae glossaries, our rib riddled diaries: (to recite those arteries, to cuddle those toes, as mommy died those hips testifying: to live in you, to imagine you, to do so much justice ignoring puzzles in you: this quest for identity, this mission for rights, so concerned, so misrepresented: those misnomers, those mixed names, this casual assassination: so easy at dinner, so removed so close, or so close needing more): such untrained instincts, such melodic moments, at soul for rivers to sense something delicate: such moved emotion, or unmoved sentiments, where growth is daily at habits: such aurora cries, such diamond eyes, such to life needing so little: rudiment cries, ridiculous tides, or roundabout feelings: such orchid gardens, such ape calmness, rooted in something beautiful—our lungs, Love, puffing to escape, Love, at terrors founded upon seven thoughts, Love: this infant gorilla, this studious Timotheus, or descendant from Thecla: at terrible souls, at frequent questions, upon a brown water lily: so achy with persistence, to admit indigenous love, or admiration through obligation: while mother adores, as holding your music—those  navy blues, those army greens, those cactus legacies—as bent with tolerance, or intolerant a pet-peeve, to kneel upon a concrete tulip: our psyche errors, our feel good joys, at medium rare havens: our tissues moaning, our intestines groaning, while granny loved red-snapper: our boneless fish, our putty centered brains, our talkative hemispheres: to adore existence, to love a swan, to laugh and play and joke with resistance: this deep reservoir, those trenchant concerns, but parents fair well under pressure: that bag of chicken, this box of rice, so alive, so sentimental, such saddening joys.
