Darker Thunders


…if life is by violence, and silence becomes temperament, than dignity is by sullenness: those teeming devises, our puckering existence, or more, our feudal resistance: those relic trolleys, those character defenses, this steamboat insistence: where ghosts haunt, those diamond pyramids, our mirrors raking perceptions.  I discovered sadness, as a hopeful youngling, listening to Oldies—or tears this gut-phone, reckoned as analytical, our Sunday night rice with liver: indeed, by gravy, as more, by hot-sauce, that silent adventure: as cursed sinews, or rabid motivation, while finding laughter in ghettoes.  Our metaphors, our brazen courage, as adrift mainly without notice: introduced to goblins, estranged to normalities, at sodium with vengeance: that cistern by chaos, that intrusion comes harshly, around five peeling our training-wheels. 

We grade souls, We ward-off termites, We cleave to joy-bringers: this parachute extravaganza, those extra-ordinary spirits, those exponential smiles: while torn by heartbeats, threshed with swords, sipping upon existence: that fulgent creature, as bane becomes instruction, our curves this intricate experience: our turbid ponds, our instant rivals, our inner Sanskrit: our weeping splendor, our spontaneous shifts, and this immortal race: (those majestic seas, our mental motifs, as childhood exists by memories: our crucible palms, our marksmen mandolins, our morning memoirs).  We live by axioms, at seconds, whimpering, comparing life to cartoons: such nightlong fire, such early alarm, as but a soul realizes those missing pieces: as achy torches, or defenseless storms, and softly we drift our skyline.

I’d Save The Reader Years

    The beat becomes sickness. A long crucible—a drilling ecstasy. I was losing focus, feeling forbidden, if to self, if to mirrors. So curs...
