Life

 

It comes with a price, diamonds in brains, livid in a daze.

The deathbed polygraph—to see what prevails.

Laying there, close to departing, begging for entrance.

What is believed?

Oh mighty Filmmaker, segue to eternity, exit into hells.

Many more unloved, surmising, filled & fraught by iniquity; filthy palms, forgiven, like a dam miracle.

To walk with self, to know dirty crevices, to try to make peace with hands—their journey, their mechanics, a bloody death.

To ask for repairs, to need to feel erased, longing for maturity.

Like dying was good, like living was bad, what else do we have?

If it was nonchalance, did it hurt?

Surreal battles, fighting a damn ghost, what in gods is in us?

Loving is never a mistake, saying benthic things, smothered by skies;

head monopoly, gifts made too subtle, like Jesus is on radar.

Nomadic spirits, traveling curses, looking at day become nightfall.

To take it back to cymbals, tambourines, tribal discussion: smokestacks, walking coals, spears through flesh—

to live it at it edges, to cliff ride, at a ghost town:

praying for good health, to live it freely, rather pray for clarity of thought.

Virtue in a demon, omens in angelica, it’s funny how scripture tells a story.

And back at it, early morning greetings, a voice in dice, a female essence—terrified of living, like dreading science, filmed in absence.
