Transitions

I must adjust, printed on porches, tugging this clove; that inner season, that mental canvas, those trials by nature that love; to soon remember, of something so wicked, as never before such life: that gentle death; that hellish heaven; that purgatorial space; at once, to perish, if but to listen, that secret den. It must have been life, our Adonis enslaved, by wretched this wave; to flee at turmoil, as imprinted by mistakes, while Love denied a castle: this waking madness; that pickled tulip; those days at arms with justice; while built as perfect, a mind astray, at terrors that shattered pash. I’m slow to see us, that correlation, while tugging at realities: those mawkish mirrors, treaded through darkness, that grave of light—as came his mind, chiseled with a toothpick, scraping that inner nucleus; to find your face, hidden beneath angers, a stockroom of treasured memories; but oh to grieving, as to finally realize, Adonis had nothing to go by: those vacant slots; that empty cedarchest; that credenza of unappealing prose; to die alone, as to rise alone, as to realize there was never Love; that inner person; that musicality; that color of hardships; where Love would perish, as reborn to arms—our texture a legacy; as birds chirped, while dolphins performed—in honor this thing that couldn’t breathe. Oh for reality, this impartial dragon, tugging at threaded delusions; this awkward confession, as forfeiting madness, to revisit that death; where prose soared, by deep illusion, that reality mangled; to finally see her, this brilliant winner, soaring her own songs: that miracle art; rewarded daily; at tears that I died; while treading motives, to forsake motives, to abide by forbidden laws; that inner life, filtered through kingdoms, where too much ignited a fortress. I must confess, as dying while living, this place of profound wisdom; to see your heart, as melded to glory—this furious fever.
