The Great Heirloom

 

 

The weakness is the hunger. A need to feel esoteria. Something tugging one free. (Each time I read good poetry I ask myself what in the hell am I doing?)  Over unripe loquats, with sour lemons—discussing a five-year-old’s dreams.

Most need to know with clarity—in order to explain life; in its psychology, it makes a heart cozy, warm. True bravery is facing chaotic motion, adjusting with each wave. There’s a need for esoteria.
