Swan Lamp

It’s your soul, inasmuch as an orchestra embedded in a heart-tear—to crochet for luxury, as art to a poet, as utopic skies—to speak of change, this velvet rug, to stumble through masquerades—as subtle nuance, to pause in your honor, a seaquake to rupture an ocean. It’s a lamp in your soul, brimming in a cup, to shatter into a dynasty—for fever this night, spinning through day-springs, a canvas upon a nightmare; so paint us free, if only a dream, as quixotic as, Milton/as torn our paradise, to refurbish souls, a sublime kiss; to rapture for hugs, a pool to spin, twirling through twilight-zones; as born to Light, as born discreetly, as a riddle to staring eyes. It’s honeysweet wisdom, for bittersweet moments, an amulet as ritual—to fly this grief, an imprinted heartstring/an imprinted voiceover—to soar as sullen—this vessel imbuing souls—to climb upon wildfire, as spurts of inner cities, a choir to erupt in passions.
