If a Decade Grew Wings

I whisk for love, ever ambitious, losing by graces: this face of madness, our pious ambitions, bathing in glacier waters—as more purgatory, touching as dying, pulling shards of glass—as never he cried, a quake as a qualm, such melodic redemption.

This spotless lure; this casual attraction; to become so treacherous; while left to guillotines, seeking after shelters, removed but found grieving. We spittle irony, this puzzle of souls, this puddle of paradox; as chiming eternal, rinsing red eyes, our gusset as bleeding through stitches: this horror of qualms; this life we need; this mystic maze—as much a habit, our maxim as pure, our cymbals as brazen: female magicians; male knitters; as both removed unjustly; this forbidden cry, as grieving habits, while dyeing appetites; to lose color, this absence of love, while channeled as Pyrrhic: that inner music, as singing eyes, this market-brain of sorrows.

Every stratum a daymare, as gripping ribs—misery unto atoms; to compose a nightmare, or a celestial photograph, to construct a touch of unbelief; as never he begged, but ever he pleaded, eager to believe. It struck a soul, those metaphysics, that teleological expanse: where minds grieve, that ascetic dance, bent through pressures of contrition.

We came for justice, alive our torment, to embrace as dying: that ancient song; that luminous chaos; our bodies withering in passions; as ever for justice, this ache of redemption, as seething injustice: that pure pathos; that shaky ethos; our logos as troubled amore; to flee transgression, as never they lived, forbidden through death that sun!

…that driven life; that order to chaos; that enamored retreat: to perish thrice, our keystone confliction, where songbirds mourn.

Years have settled; passions have grounded; we’re abandoned to apparitions.

I grip a voice, as to construct our winds, while inventing fire; this web of activity, to sigh our names, a fist full of earth; this treasured soil, this deep intrusion, our pardoned reflections; where beauty flames, as coming into bodies, this rich contortion—where souls vanish, as fleeing ambitions, if but to protect such futures: this twilight symphony; this tremulous ghost; our seconds as screaming, “Please!”


A decade is near, as never to channel, while souls adjust—to more that angst, fleeing mirrors, while roaming this land of ambitions—where arts flourish, as fingers compose, aligned with passions, infused through emotions; as fraught fatigue—spells abracadabra, our worlds visit that touch; our strengths abolished, as far too late, tugging at a scented second.   

I’d Save The Reader Years
