Sweet Deaths by Living


…so told to science, such rich envy, while remorse settles and diminishes: to stay our ruins, such softer whispers, so at something labeled love: our infant wisdom, so secluded, so protected in silence: those dead feelings, this recaptured feeling, so tugged by disease: our minds, Chilly, our guts, Silly, at mirrors running and looking backwards: this end day passion, those end week loses, so at terrors concerning those winters: those tragic tombs, bones made by letters, this furious heart-fire: so watery, so baptized, at deacons their third wives: seated this veranda, sipping cognac, teary over this divine smile: so captured, so cured, afloat a nightmare and raging: those purposed psychs, this inscrutable woman, so cursed, so blessed, peering into dying: our sick mortality, this existential dread, so infused, so lost, so devastated—this interior narration, this woman so close, while art abuses its winnings: those impressions, this falling, as called to drown in dungeons: such rabid behavior, as paused in lava, so maya, so Mechtild, so maniacal—to feel a person, this long-range encyclopedia, while Love extracts a definition: at blue-bloody mistakes, this life with Love, as something we didn’t desire: but hell to emotion, and child to logic, so fueled but harvesting weeds: those slithers grounded, this wheat for television, this insulation critical music: notwithstanding, it became such, this hellish anxiety, while cut for ruined: those beige movies, this see-through person, while I never cared more than Jesus: so belonging, so caring, at Love with sheer observance: this blue terror, this red sun, if but to attract, if but to explode, so whet, so deceased, while living pure anguish: it comes this flavor, looking at genius, so much to laughing out loudly: this attic of rooms, this sky-vestibule, this interior hallway: (at  Love with feelings, so charged with flame, peering into a thousand year old armoire): so desperate, so calm, such a precious oxymoron—those old feelings, this killing instinct, so charged by a decent memory: so angst’d, so cured, so at flame—this machine, this tender anxiety, or those long, running, even discussion legs: to perish with weather, to die with havens, our palms, our sheets, our unlived necks!

…if but for honesty, this clever woman, this incredible winner: to imagine life, right those arms, so egregious our daymare: at Sandra hives, at Alexandria passions, or Theresa holiness: our banquet halls, our blanket chills, so abandoned to black rivers: if but to die, as but to live, so shaky dependent upon mood shifts: our chestnut bread, our bubbly bellies, our flirtatious eyelashes: to see something cringing, to address like looseness, to receive like ghosts: this revved fever, this lightening moon, while one specializes at making us feel un-special: to dismiss dung-night, to envelope sun-rave, so cliff-like, so exaggerated, so at peace with a few longevities: this deep respect, for Love was romantic, while Love was dismissive: this beautiful night-care, this gorgeous train-casualty, at something so elated it drowned its illusion: those new motifs, this Aaliyah frenzy, so high, so low, so wound, so wounded: to flee with self, as returning to passion, where nights call to surrender: those locked sights, this tender paradox, where Love new it was going to die: as pushing limits, so many crushes, to infect while stone cold at wars….

I come with bruises, I die at feelings, while so cursed I shall destroy: this film in blueberries, this angst in cranberries, those floors, those machines, those dynasties: as men winning, something losing, while life is never with sameness: to abscond with hearts, to relish in ruins, while offended that life whiplashed: such caprice, such islands, so deeply craven: this mixture woman, this bold cavity, this dear extraction: if but this person, so high with lowness, so cursed with absolute worship: as found and losing, as winning and lost, while it felt good to reclaim scruples: those gunning alleys, this gunning system, while I needed two good psychs: if but to fawn, if but to dine, if but to recap a day of sheer emotion: those latent cringes, those latent anxieties, to see those persons as complicated women: this far dream, this far scheme, so captivated by something so close: those shared seconds, while so alert, to ensure we do not trigger dynamite: those remote features, our plastic binoculars, our curse, our force, our silent appraisals!
