It Couldn’t Be Love


We’ve felt for love, this force beyond entrance—your soul scraping sky-crafts; as worn this thought, a tinge of Raggedy Ann—this intrusive space. I can’t but love you, our names thrust through membranes, a bit overly concentrated; to spin energy, while failing to retreat—this missing interlude. Your arms are dovelike; your smile is forbidden; while time slips into a comma; for purpose is grandiose, as love is honored most, with tears to raft through souls. I feel you screaming, a product of ceilings, this agony as rich as sin; to move with grace, as faced with demons—our bond a local nightclub. Its mystery minded—this esoteric joy, to know you as an angel through orbits; this fluffy language, to speak of pleasures—our right to retreat; but more the highway, the 55 north, wrenching through traffic; to touch but fevers, this inner arc—your heart sacrificed with Christ; this christic fusion—your eyes as purple—our rain as apricots. I’ve known you more, as to know for sinning, this thing our hands wouldn’t touch; this moonly style, this wedge-wood oath, this feeling of argent springs. You’re beauty’s fire, the radix of numbers, a fetching catastrophe; for love is privy, where torn men watch, and perfect men brood; to clamor is public, over dulcet eyes, as sighted in such modest glamour. I feel confused, embarking to speak, and missing the mark: the wafture of love; that gracile war; or this bizarre feeling of permanence; for oh this love, this abstract love, captured in concrete art; where one would jape, to outwit what’s pure, tearing through consciousness. I’ve died to see us—as more this flower, this hypnotized grandeur: our souls as driven; our rights as forfeited; our auras as mating; [but it couldn’t be real, this feeling we live, as to dismiss that fatal dispute].
