Ghetto but Suburbs


Into his casket, living as deranged, seen as piranha—lucky to die, forfeited to darkness, or lucky to live; abashed and hectic, revealed and concealed, so much to love and never touch; this cadence wound, this woman’s scar, while accursed for heinous existence. So polished, so lethal, so insensitive; born with jewels, abused and dead, but conversing with Jesus. This Adam hearse, this Abram curse, where I never participated; so unfriendly, so destitute, at moonshine this mystic forgiveness; so long this road, so crazed this vulture, to steam go elated and scare scarecrows. I’m not there, this empty ass room, this maniac chasing brains; as flippant bowels, or uneasy liquor, while perfection is passing judgement; as never a need, filled with greed, and God requires her earth; this plagued gut, this speckled growl, while nerves are abashed and deadly. Our lazy relations, to give as we damn well please, while expecting pure loyalty. But enough of that monocle, and more this inimical, our lives are up for counsel; if but to exist, this vat and cigar, our days counting cobblestones.     Unpack trauma, look closer, and ask, Is Love incapable of dying; this rebel at Petco, this parakeet getting riches, our souls flippant with agonies; so frantic our desire, to have and need, to relax and lose—our gut-empires, our minds with levity, our bodies needing beautiful lovers; this talk he held, this property he forsook, while Love rather her daughter’s deaths; so unfair, a garbage of lights, a sewer so revealing; to die with God, as a nihilist creature, so at Kierkegaard for language; our dead palms, this loud ass nail, to snatch rebuke and bleed; sipping damn near noon, alert and livid, so conscience it’s become damn near sickening.     I bit sunrise, damaged as goods, but Love adored us; this flimsy courage, this in time with deaths, while adored for polished; so rustic, so rusty, but damn near a ghoul; ghetto love, ghetto anguish, while Love just gave birth. That old trailer, that addict’s park, if but to feed for a month; so banished over-there, so alive over-here, a little to a baby’s gums; old wives, new women, where anything is appealing; this old thing, this feeling gin, while a dead-man was survival to win; headed closer, as abused with crimes, while a man can never tell; our seven tears, our five wounds, our three Theists.     It was hell, Mystic, it was years, Mystic, but God was training Mystics—aborted in this, resurrected in trash bins, and jumped out, even leaped out, and cut ambilocal cord; this nub left, this belly button, this white hand; our cosmetics, our comedy, our cosmic furnace; so rejected by hells, but chased by hells, where a man isn’t fair enough to kill; at blue agony, our purple royalties, so gifted no one is listening; if but a red tide, if but a green horizon, to love so ruggedly; this jagged miracle, this graphed daughter, while a man so to his deaths; at agonies and cured, at women and dying, but passion twists in blue turquoise; this glasshouse, this PCH, at sunset and debating; a fifth with Hindus, a scripture with Catholics, or perfect behavior our addicts; so gutted and rugged, so aloof and demented, while Love ignored racism for years; this battle so real, as losing everything, in order to bring us back!

It was a wish, it became a thief, while Love hasn’t missed a step. It was curious days, a life sentence, while Love is rollercoasters. As young mimics, this terrorized adversary, this blood black plague, as never a different title.     A broken guitar, a flute for spirits, a phantom swooshing nightly. A daughter at hurt, a mother her being, a stepfather so at calmness. Or grandpa, feeling awkward, and maybe with conscienceness. At granny rebuked, at uncle a deep truth, while a daughter her stories. But mother knows, and mother lives, while something unorthodox has taken place. This flesh thing, this step-thing, at guts and laughing if but not for crumbling. So loud to me, so clear to me, while Love would first tell smaze. This smoke thing, this God thing, while Jesus serves us! A deep miracle. A blatant irony. While it feels acceptable!

The Sentiment

  The Sentiment    It tends to matter—each pursuing holy armor. It leans into a desire to feel pure, clean, sacred and such. I never underst...
