Ghetto Socialites

I lost dreams and screams so tender such deathless coyotes; to forgive his smile, to die his lake, at arms and drones abused; hell-hounds chasing those eyes watery while hovering over a sewer; to read his glands, to perish his flux, while needing something invisible; this harsh weather at base our concern so electric our arc—to flourish battles, to grit with flames, at daughter a refugee; so powerful those grains, a seed planted in concrete traffic, abased and damaged again; those flowers whispering this grave of dynamite our treacherous wild life; those gates and bars and staring dragons with fire glares; to creep his path, seated he was, a full pledged maniac; our brief moments, running through deserts, a cactus as a friend; rebooted and set free, arguing against his image, or pretending that something for riches would obey a minor tinge; so half way there or wholeness for rent while Agony was so glorious; our aches to find you, those loses in you, to find that Love was purposely hidden; abashed or ruined, studying life scars, abreast of something in our atmosphere; grown man love, irremovable friendships, so dire an excuse filled with empires; our minds needing Jesus, our days stalemated, where chess seemed so essential; this gut fever, this mini-that, while armor knew his longevity; to pump for reasons, so unbeknownst to us, while one was winning with leprechauns; this mentality is blood diamonds, this child I once fed, or this mother those eyes so amazingly; as never aware where temperaments clash and giving becomes a reason to receive; to tragic pains, our ruthless threads, at fences gripping and looking upon High; to adore in you, to want something unreal, to collapse, sing souls, and such remorse for loving; this chilled spicier, those tarsier hawkers, so into something living; to usurp a castle those rooms demonized our souls awakening so suddenly; where Love was out of her park and Love didn’t care, asking, Do you still love me?

I was hit with apathy laced in miracles those few weeks so marvelous; to re-juice in torrents where oceans speak rivers as again so captured by malaise; those legs at me those tears meaning more while one was forced to tackle family; those gigantic hopes for one so unreal but Love adored hurting herself; such aches and moans and groaning for a man that couldn’t relate; this new age adornment, this part-time love affair, where another man is dying for loyalties; our cut trees our trimmed seas or so gone a man petting a tigress; at days laughing while realizing such laughs to retreat into this hard won indifference; an awkward feeling, a dark reality, while feeling normal; a splinter that linchpin, a miracle our union, while both have drifted into something dangerous; those sharks and aggression, this life where they do not care, and battles with this elusive mirror; so at waves, or coursing through longer roads, while a rose just blossomed from concrete; so adored those songs, so banished for disobedience, while love means one must submit; this furious fire, this frank disrespect, at detriments and feeling deceitful. Our arks floating, our doves returning, but sudden to abandon ship; so realized in this, if but to give love, this thing becoming this gambit; as never again, this enduring love, but evermore this dependent love; our souls as spacecrafts, our hearts fleeing, while so inclined towards nostalgia; those years building this immortal selection where we fret prior to our calamity; our souls so lonely, our bodies entertained, while writing if but those freedom chains; accursed for diligence, needing something forgetting itself, as one determined to die in us; our violin strings, our mandolin boards, or soft at piano—those rough wranglers, those rougher eyes, or such beauty a man reneges upon his hatred; accustomed in us, relived in demons, while so perfect he had to ruin it; our pavement ideals, our realized incompletions, where Love would have hell to pay; so inclined to river in us as crazed and abused in us and running back to our ghettoes, trust!          

Time was Brief

    With deeper allure—to ward off ghosts—melancholia is an empire. Such dialogue confuses—: one wrestling despair. It was remote living, in...
