Swan Night


…so public, so secluded, such musicality: at dreams, so young, so tender, so deliberate: at alienation, so intimately aware, so driven, so cursed: those private thoughts, this rebuked valley, those orchard fruits: magnolia pies, mahogany envy, at pure indecision: we see vaguely, we deny our beauty, always so vigil those grassy islands: our green perfection, our novitiate status, so early as greenhorns: a pack of marigolds, those dreamy eyes, a napkin, a tear, at someone special: this diamond sin, our diamond passion, so thrown, so concerned, so revved: those social ranks, while realizing a deficit, at treasures pleading new beginnings: (to love so delicately, where passion is opaque, while needing closeness): this push-pull insanity, those cavalier responses, while searching for pure enlightenment: at coarser visions, begging forgiveness, a world over there: those straight lines, our crooked margins, so far aligned edging into rightness: this dream, my Love, this field of cotton, Love, while ignoring Blackness, Love: as never an utterance, as never a thought, attempting to please others: this rhythm tug, those jazzy atmospheres, at something denying your humanity: growing in emotion, feudal at times, or such a Taurus: those afflatus eyes, those running legs, those curly, insane locks: so many tickets, so thrown at remorse, but life is not your fault….     …a bit smug, a bit thorough, as feeling this hate we give: so money high, such luxurious gems, while losing a piece of insights: but yours is flowing, this college responsibility, at science feeling compelled: to rethink, to feel something, while feeling indecision: that loyal enterprise, as demanded of children, while parents secure secrets: those things we endure, those lies we live, if but for this optimal idealism: so initiated, at so many concerns, while raised as one nonchalant: to lose so much, as ideals perish, where character is required: but yours is peaceful, and yours is easygoing, while others are asunder through profanity: or times are dark, and life is moving, while old ideals have vanished: to see a person, to rebuke that person, or so inverted we never behave as that person….

I sense you dancing, at tender sentiments, where thoughts interfere: watching semblance, ignoring mechanisms, as something perfect is quite impossible: but better those are, while ignoring home-fronts, or so invested we need a certain outcome: this battle cave, this raving city, while youngsters live so fast:

(I live a secret; it distresses my soul, while agonizing over this future reality: as pure giants, at captured concerns, disputing those slingshots).

…days are running, old habits are hard to summons, and something endearing is dying: this young pioneer, this swan-ship, at deeper politics: this need for education, this dread as living, while never another glance, for mother disapproves: it seems crazy, as never this much power, to infest, inculcate, and demand like similarities: so removed, so disliked, while carrying genetic disturbance: as some would laugh, for it seems great, while many refused to confess to HIV: this nondisclosure, this treacherous felony, where others are quite careful: (years are gunning, theater is moving, our boxes are unraveling): so much tape, so much upheaval, while never prepared to face life: those easygoing alleys, this need for publicity, at celebrity behaviors: such catastrophes, or born moving slowly, at something proven gentle: those softer whispers, this land of raindrops, to sudden upon a rainbow kiss….

…DELVE DEEPER INTO SILENCE, LIVE ACCORDING TO STRUCTURE, WHILE REMOVED ENOUGH TO TACKLE CHAOS: this bail life, those figures you adore, afraid, but frantic to love: such catnip reality, revved with little kittens, working and pruning and selecting a garden: DEMAND EQUALITY, BECOME A WOMAN, LIVE IN ACCORDANCE TO RICHER INTGRITIES: sorry to yell, but emphases are required, while one is so at large: this running fugitive, paying his last ticket, while conversing with sky-windows: our pouring recitals, our raging thoughts, if but to harmonize with something killing us gravely: our first Love, our last dynamite, while jaded, forcing others to pay tribute: at fleeting encounters, something gentle becomes a commodity, and something harsh is something we cleave to: so rigid, such a vandal, where something becomes indelicate….

…we ache in tulips, we die in dice, while love means dealing with another person: where something outweighs pain, and something enjoys company, and something feels satiated: this anti-tabloid, this interior brochure, or those mental magazines: this photo album, this collection of records, or books screaming to define life: while mere presence kills, or mere sex is devastating, for hours pass sipping insanity: but have a vision, possess a hobby, moreover, complete yearly projects: have character, possess philosophy, in-addition, read news clippings: have something to say, as opposed to work-thoughts, and exercise weekly: for life is ribbons, if but to keep a person, we must adapt to circumstances: to dazzle and demand, to desire and demonstrate, or better, to deliver and detonate: those far concerns, this finishing school, those higher ranks, where women are equals, even a bit dangerous….      

Worn Senses

    Let the gift be faith. Many at war. We emphasize it. Many ask, why? How it feels to own promise. A man chides his understanding, realizi...
