Wringing Out the Cloth

We study life, as to suffer ourselves, pointing at other’s mirrors. It couldn’t be real: a family of addicts, a gene for illness—this destined tragedy. It’s grim enough, to live in secrets—compelled to confess: the hidden madness, that edge of travesty, those eyes that elicit rain. It couldn’t be real: this romantic nature—suited for agonies, this theologian’s terror: to come to terms, as to see self adrift, painted as pictured pangs. We dread introspection, this hypersensitive mind, a pillowcase for guidance; to live a moment of joy, to escape condition—but a time to wander!

We watch for wings, that inner glowing, as depicted in one’s aura—to have as conscious, this centered dream, to efface our traumas; where joys surface, to witness humanity, this spiritual effusion: to challenge chaos, with disorderly order, this wave of paradoxes.

We study life, this existential web—from souls to tragedies—trekking through sulfur, this trope for passions, as dying through woes. It couldn’t be real—this mirror of sights, spinning on a merry-go-round. It couldn’t be real—this first grip, a run of one’s life!
