—another
creature
this
studio movie, such excellence;
parts
broken, skeleton swollen, another liver;
sore
muscles, blatant insanity, another
woman;
hearts become brains or
souls
become bodies, or screaming poets—
his
lungs
but charcoal, his mind but
helicopters,
such bone-marrow such stomach
aches;
by jigsaw attraction with nothing to offer as if passion sustains; those long
gazes or this seesawing sky this puzzle of veins.
her
head bleeds, so much to die, where living is so pricey.
it
was time to succumb as it was time to seduce where something gray effected
reception; a man to his music, a nose to its operator, or liquor to its
priests; our minds studying where we must intervene, and elsewhere, our
spirits; our susceptible feelings, this need gnawing wormwood, while we claw at
gnats; such a different creature, this do-for-pleasures creature, where a man
is want for something believable; but nights are warm where days are chilly or
earth is addled; by tongue and cheek, by lies and graves, while building an
empire.
those
blades there those ants there this story there; our saga in blood our fields we
owned
our
plight or fortress; flipping our coins pitching
our
souls after something seeming more kosher; but analyzed and coined but
undelivered and specimen while so many were humanitarians;
our
sheet-metal
chins our metal faces our metal emotions.
women collected purses
or high-heels or gin; men collected wishes or inadequacies or humility. so cultural,
and so absent of mention, where such of us were monetary gain; so economic, so
crucial, while women seem exempt.
such
primitive realities, so modernized, where
a
person becomes commodity; a woman as
a
product, a man as socio-exploitation, where reality determines weakness;
independence
annihilated or liberty assailed
where
years later blackness would adore whiteness;
such
miracle eyes or such deep forgiveness where we learn about people:
their
navels their roundness their entitlements:
their
hands their knees their Jesus!
such
sureness in affection such debated reassertion in pits while we live together!
