at the last Trumpet …

 

The sky fell. Arts were indicted. To put silence to rest. I kept moving swiftly, Love had a number, suffering stomach pains. Threaded in voices, listening to mentors, confused about it. They gave up, dedicated to drugs, lifting a private flag. I kept moving, Love spoke it boldly, it’s a shame how we live. Years would pass, tranquility chastised, just becoming a creature, a snake, another dragon, with Love remembering rain. To hear a song, to erase time, to become a creature: it was war, those years. I relish in one fact: some daggers we live with, regardless, it’s immoveable. Pianos and keys, wondering, wandering landscapes, listening to dead souls. The road has been intricate, incognito pains, dramatic a lot. Freedom born, the greatest nation, washing indiscretions. A small fever, a boxed life, with liberties being trespassed. Its fessed up, it must be mutual, altruism has reciprocity. I kept moving quickly. I unlocked her aura. I asked one question. To have lived in disguise. I knew her worries. I shared her coffee. Like racing a clock, trying at excellence, forbidden by galaxies—as between countries, seated in a city, color coded, loving our neighbors. How have we lied, living hypocrisy, feuding with philosophies; beating drums, returning to Africa, raving over Bethlehem; the pool is stirred, would we dare to become prophets, walls, acrobatics!
