Sober Inventory


I need changes; something more balanced, something reft of brevity: I need feminine senses, masculine humility, plus, lesbian pride: I need more libido, or something in one person, while death seems so pure: I need a child, something green but dangerous, something chiseling hearts: I require converse, something metaphysic, or so realistic it begins to untangle—this myth in men, those diamond queens, while we vie to maintain kingdoms: those fabulous persons, this face but power, our fathers feeling life: this soul deep ocean, this rising seahorse, or those electric cellos: so detached, so sober, such medium air: our minds at chase, our pigeons quite nosy, our crickets quite noisy: I need more flights, in this mediocre display, while too much can become mania: this allergic creature, so subtle and obese, where full control becomes our fancy: at worlds, Love, so akin to this flute, so melodic, so settled, so disgruntle: a bit of anger, for life has been both gentle and abrasive: so many tragedies, so much coleslaw, our bare-feet tucked in gravy: such battle and weight, such indifference and deep love, or so panicked at sudden familiarity: those biblic facts, this contradiction, while pairing historical texts with certain scriptures: as pure Contextualists, re-debating our hermeneutics, or shunning those blank, listless, and trivial controversies: indeed, to render mindstuff, to become mindstuff, to float, bear a greeting, and return placed in fire: as winning energies, or touching something remote, our bodies floating while looking down at our carcasses: (this field but grayness, or scientific brain-lutes, our harps upon free-treading, liquid cement: as so much to adore you, or so much to forgive you, so much to understand those motives: as restructured souls, living restructured silence, while never quite certain to tell every detail: this curse in souls, so ashamed of those actions, while practicing unsaid actions: this celestial concern, this chain in God, or our first responses yearning for pleasure: this greater good, that verses a limited amount of pain, while we negotiate our interior wrongness: so shook apart, plus, unraveled, without a notion to interrogating our behaviors: or so dearly cursed, analyzing every action, where a simple cup of cognac becomes troublesome: another person’s woes, another person’s struggles, as we adapt to another person’s assessments: inner liabilities, mental assets, while life skips to a-rhythmic patterns: so lost in love, so fantasy driven, where futures are stripped bare).

I’ve studied something; it’s quite peculiar, plus, a bit unsteadying: this polygraph within, those feelings revved into motion, or seated in concentration relating to someone those bluer air-vents: as dynamic brains, our curious mental-linguistics, while favoring certain correlations: but trespass is vibrant, where I thought of you, but elsewhere crossed currents: our emotion-souls, those generating windstorms, accustomed to throwing interiors: plain to view, obscure and shadows, or entrenched in this unbelievable instant: those cries lashing at pillows, this violent, deep release, so cultured, so civilize, but so unglued: pulling our corners, racing to challenge opposing views, while needing concrete validation: those trials with vinegar, this lime with panaceas, or realizing death has come to claim its investment: those deeper truths, experimenting with sacredity, where worship is slightly askew: but just to see, or just to know, where souls venture into god-hood: this large space, this endless intrigue, or this riveting interior: but days are singing, and fathers are grateful, while souls are battling for clarity.  

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...
