To Mother & Daughter


Nothing but wilderness. So close to losing fire.

I died those sins as having his cake by big body flames or soft a catch or raven a match so secure in lies, a man fleeing a kite floating while stuck at predicaments; to reminisce a kitten to hear a purr while so alien from me; bleeding ink or craving power while remaining holy; such authority such infallibility while a true human wrestles.          I spark a monocle or clear a clock where grandpa arises; this living agony this time-saw at something so gorgeous—to have seduced or discredited disdain while such passion—the delight most women take—into wells into wills where brooks are claiming indemnity; our castles our grass our seaweeds—to redeem creeks to nurture sensitivities or to feel heaviness.                       

Dearest Daughter,

it was small in mother this force she adored this perfect life she couldn’t reach; pure disharmony or purer joys while needing palms and grapes and detriments; to grieve in me to have died in life while tugging trees; this blatant cry this midnight cigar or blood trickling from sap; to find pain or to stream rain where you lived or craved or spoke in ink; this furious forest those gangly gowns or afforded asphalt; this concrete world, this painful world while our best ingredients are abstract; never a final thought, this war with modernity wile most are postmodern; such deconstruction such beautiful, bulbous eyes, to have feelings where we feel estranged—those caged rooms those wretched gates too gathered to give much rise.

Dear Mother,

was it breath was it normal did it matter?

as casual creatures trying something eternal where we felt undelivered; but lovers grew plus they reigned while they refused us; was it great was it life did ghosts speak softly?         to receive harm into arms that laughed while parents are discounting color; to love anguish to kiss agony while color doesn’t matter; our vain souls where we die lavender or curdle in miseries; but days are unrest or minds are wresting after something we can’t locate—such feral behavior such craving guts while a daughter learns as taught. but this is war we must watch our colors where I wonder most intensely; they want deal, or they don’t want love, where the caliber is different with them; so, our pride our wealth our needs; such disdain for peoples such unhappiness but never an appropriate mirror; as lost with flame or nervous with life as uncritical misfortune.

I never understood us, this triad, where reality relies upon closed tunnels; those unlikely rules this feud in time or asking for essence refusing to follow formulas; but such sweet serenity or a woman her thrown to dive or die or so dreaded; to need a feeling to manufacture a feeling while said feeling is too far removed; as what a mind needs this evidential component while most lie to self too often; to want forever, to desire bone or marrow, or so confident over an untenable beginning; where injuries ensue or stars confess, while too embolden to recollect.

It seems too late, but wires by truths, where image is more important than breath.

Guessing at The Colors

      I never say it plainly. It befuddles me. And presence creates self-consciousness. If uncareful, it can hamper one’s psychic growth. (S...
