such unsteadiness as it peaks where
insides shiver: the black-blue excuses, those reasons we project, our souls
aching injustice. the daughter he loves the mother on battlegrounds or
forbidden comfort-fruits. a lion my cave a grave my tenure while a tomb reads
something irrelevant. those dear eyes as nothing but analytical while a man can’t
fathom those reasons. our brains screaming but ever so calm while wine is too
much. so wrong at times so indifferent to humans or such a deliberate attitude.
as protecting self that fragile person while forced to be strong. (the curse is
experiential it cuts bone where we meet devastation. the fragments of my sanity
or the father an alcoholic or the jealous stepdaughter. those inner covenants
if but this life where it comes like sirens. such strange values or passing
some STD while feeling justified. our warped assessments our cold feelings our
callous beauties. as a soul wept, he felt so complete where death seemed his
option. a river of sinews a behavior problem while we ponder if mania means
bipolar. a flagon for Jesus, or abstinence for John The Baptist, either/or,
death was imminent.) if to blush at this, so uncured in you, while a person is
too misinformed. our jungle solitude, our discolored perception, where a man
searches his integrity. so indicative of illness, such raw behaviors, while
held guilty for a genetic alarm. as to kill the cancer patient or to silence
the baby’s cry where a migraine means work harder. or slaves found guilty for
slavery in a just society while we assert some men, women and children were
meant for servitude. the bible at this, those misconstrued scriptures while
most become anti-Christianity. the ocean thrown out with the whale, the baby
thrown out with the adulterous, or Israel no longer favored for grumbling in
the desert. such things distress us or motors are no longer revving while a few
people are purely scandalous. the sickness the diseases the possibility a child
is estranged. such music as it angers while a man is but his rages. our innocence
so vetted, by a five-minute meeting. our organs or pipes or churches (our
behaviors!).
