Softer Cries


…it becomes a miracle, living our inverted sins, and soaring our great lakes: about such courage, in this region of make-believe, our souls grappling walls: at unkind religion, or tragic insistence, where agony cries her opposite: our fair goodbyes, while cringing at hopes, where tendencies probe literature: our psychological manuscripts, our pamphlets about India, or our biblical commentary: as seized by thunder, to notice resonance, or embarking upon our campaigns…. 

We would sense life, this curious creature, while comparing serendipity: this luck in souls, this universal cadence, and our eyes seeking permanence: as bored stallions or raving mad mares, while seated in sheer elegance: that brush for water, to comb through beauty, or this gracious half-time: our souls seeping into earth, our hearts soil-based, and our minds planted in abstracts: at resilient seconds, such flaming intuition, while petting our wild horses.

I remember admiration, this charming ankh, this remarkable entrance-piece: our foxes sprinting, our hounds chasing, to find with life internal tensions: this box for feelings, this coldness at heaters, or this furnace leaking its philosophy: at seconds our eyes, at moments our loins, or at cavalier excitement: our balanced imbalances, our cozy debates, or our minds perusing: at banks with beavers, our scientists at studies, or our dams leaking.

…it becomes metaphysical, this steep design, this extra-ordinary science: our meta-minds, our mindstuff, or this miracle unraveling softly: at accordion church, or livid our graphs, our pirates studying sea-maps: this angular course, this classroom whale, or this freshwater dolphin: those curious gestures, this battle with information, or this essence with lights: our cinema unwinding, our days coming to a close, where nights open into a parade: this edgy music, our helium hearts, or at Time negotiating: this losing chess, this winning second, to have for months our winsome souls: as serious creatures, with playful designs, to encourage by unsounded captures: those days of yore, those marvelous trysts, or more, this magnificent soul-adventure….

I unravel motion, this tent afar, while walking to self: this distant soul, this casual debate, at this attempt to align this inner dimension: our clocks pausing, as if for sights, while observation becomes this ticking silence: our wrangling souls, our wrangling hearts, to find two at communication: this wild wind, this gust of energy, or this second with intuition: that curve as magnified, this inlet as stupefied, while life at seconds becomes glorified: such softness bleeding, such rapture seeming soiled, or such kisses remaining chained: our harping hearts, our fluting thought-links, or better, our inter/intra-communications.

…we close with love, this prehistoric, intangible affection streamed upon through actions: this sentimental playwright, this curious creature, this overwhelming cadence—at locks jimmied, at hearts shimmied, while trails point to authentication: this flowing meadow, this casual caress, this inner sensation: our coarse demands, our territory outlined, or our measures to never breathe again: this lot of vicissitudes, this barrier of courage, at eyes revealing this mysterious humanity: our forfeited epistemic, our manageable pragmatism, or this existential challenge to capture a brilliant smile: as ships come to dock, as sea-lions laugh, as our minds chase fragrant rains….
