In Seeing Another Human

 

The joy is dispersed in fragments.

The heart rejoices … to have noticed

a shy soul. Untold tales, unsaid beliefs,

religiosity is personal.

Loving was easy by numbness,

wrapped in essence, weened and

floating upon rain, standing beneath

intelligence. Mauled by love, as she

resides, with needs for improvements.

Knotted in guts, eating inkprints, to have

discovered romance. Many speak of

an anchor, so sweet in trauma, needing

excellence, a hug with roses. Oh

Nautic Eyes, chemic undercurrents,

made near, not whelmed

enough. Fervent avalanche—sun-filled

music, proud to have met patience,

perfect errors, a soul flogging

arrogance. Upon a drum—into a

dungeon, with everything to explore:

abject happiness, for it only

rises so high—a shifting keel;

academic wilderness, systematic

doubts, asked to fall in love. Oh

Churchbell, ringing in souls,

pleading a return to a primal source,

with Love naked in art’s domain.

A heaving upsurge, a whirlpool, loving

aesthetics has been delicate.
