Hourglass Confession


…somewhat startled, even unfastened, at this vague impasse: it dies with fevers, it trembles with flame, untamed, radiant, and debating air….     …an overflow of cringing, a flippant disposition, at clearance to exist: those deeper spirits, those fluffy flowers, at destiny encouraged to resist: our measured interactions, our daughters fleeing or flying or fraught by firebrand: those shattered walls, Love, this city of debris, or this existential lagoon: at movie instincts, arranged to believe in characters, where something written becomes actuality….

It becomes protective—our defensive indifference, our ideals, our wishes, our idyllic mansions: to believe in compassion, or to live love, at symbols suggestive of something capturing: those interior songs, this mental angst, prattling and pandering, so lost, looking into sky-wells: falling into space-hives, so fueled to live, where something continues to boar into conceptions: those adder lenses, this cobra’s anxiety, those scorpion tails: as losing music, so whelmed by silence, beckoning impervious mercy.

I felt overwhelmed, debating those futures, at dreams and vision, but alienated from sensation: this cruel creature, this genetic intrusion, our baseline tormentor: but terror was so precious, this infant swan, where something was absent: those bubbly intensities, that dare to live existence, so casual concerning something permanent: those short legs, those loving arms, while becoming indoctrinated: our burning candle, those fluffy tendencies, our acting becoming its nausea: at once, impassioned, that first time, thereafter, a swan was born: but hell was lurking, a man to his kitchen, a small blue terminator: so exhausted, so sliced into pieces, while unsaid luggage became a contestant.

…those alluring indecisions, while needing Batman, but capes were a trillion dollars: to lose something detached, where another intervenes, realizing it’s too concerned to retreat: those life rafts, dragging souls, where loyalty is rich: our apocalyptic, our Revelation, where granny realized something temporal: such spacial distance, such achieving distance, so close, so involved, plus, a stream of fluids: something pictureless, something invisible, as, nonetheless, something compelling: so many mind-portraits, accursed riches, where something indebted became a furious adversary….

I remember us—so inclined, so competitive, so reversed from normal: so hard to outlive—something embedded, but years appear fruitless: a castle upon plastic, a door made of hay, or adoration built upon feathers: those delicate hands, those small features, at once, an inspiration to something dying: this goodness in men, about this furious soul, which brings existence to spirits: plainly put, a woman drives a man, where he performs for Love, their glory runs wild in their children: notwithstanding, something was quenched, where fire was required, while both blamed profanities: our losing arcs, our ruptured cakes, so at mercy, where others participated: such grueling pressure, so alive but crucial, at sad thoughts: while men vied, at deeper complaints, but reality crashed our spaceship: as once so giddy, those sexual tears, this cry for something supportive: those variegated rainbows, those intense seconds, such fury in the eyes of sorrowing souls: as architects, so desperate a keepsake, while violating what we strove for—this infuriating loneness, or rage from closeness, while something becomes pitiful inside: a locket by dreams, so sounded in screams, so desperate to avoid a pass mishap: at such a beautiful figure, such wailing insanity, while our souls felt astray: those connecting planets, if but honest composure, our souls in cellars: outrageous intimacy, while needing elation, or this dire desire to extract power: that furious sward, those furious intensities, so eclectic, so in that minute, so wild a nature: our fatal fatigue, this fatal island, where most become quite disimpassioned: such earlier days, such animals surviving, at such rich entitlement: those trancelike seconds, those claw-like nails, or fangs digging causing interests: these days are different, boundaries are higher, our minds are conscious: our guts are cynical, deeper passion causes a challenge, with so much tugging at minds: those hapless times, those hypnotic disappointments, or this relational tempo: while something churns, re-scraping our interior chamber, and flooding our sanctums: a bit of new music, a mystique feeling, at deeper clarity.    

Worn Senses
