Solitary Island


I see distant roads, this fair impasse, and concrete roses: I imagine silence, those wintry chills, and crushed ice: this bellicose gila or this idealized idol, while children worship at unawares: this revving sentiment, our perfect redemption, and our necessary evils: where angels are knitted softly, where chipmunks harvest acorns, or our souls remain tethered: at remote feelings, attempting to feel summer, while drifting in for out—this conscious millipede, or our unconscious tentacles, while reaching for one last cloud: therewith, this fuel for passion, our remarkable sources, our strawberries and grapes: at converse with trees, as witnessed by lions, where snakes stand at attention: such caring illusions, this bout with maya, while stark raving at sadness: this shared empire, those countless hats, and our souls blending our unrealities.      

We construct spaces, our mental geese, our jasper-green ducks: our talkative lemurs, our casual sloths, at regions within peeking at potentiality: this rubescent cigar, this pair of scissors, and this book of matches: where holidays are blurry, while timeless our experiences, insofar, our created miracles: to sense beauty, as so far those galleries, where minds become museums: our talks with ghosts, our meals with macaques, indeed, our morbid terrors: those racing chills, those pheromone tremors, or just as radical our combined ‘transmitters: this aggregate of feelings, this rush through science, at reach to touch this spiritual face: our tablets becoming liquids, our brains swooshing, while built to chase another day: herewith, those miracle feelings, or those miracle scars, insomuch, our altered horizon—as pure lizards, by human structures, while feeding our estrangements: or life be gentle, this casual reproach, while unlocked and shunning life.

Grays are similar, our forecasts for adventures, treading this legendary Darwin: or artists at resurrection, living through our creations, while immortalized in private ambiguities: this soul for essence, those peas for pheasants, and this curse condemning this incessant galloping: our created music, our last batteries, this hard flower presence for fire: as remote beings, while seized by temperaments, where reality seems to taunt existence: but truths to sight, this occasion for senses, where correlations radiate by sequences: this palm of seaweed, this rushing tumbleweed, as metaphors for pressing facts: our human position, accompanied by our human condition, where essence floods our gates: our fasting frenzies, our fragile concerns, as feelings grow astringent with pain: this leaky faucet, this thinking wound, and our fair catastrophes.

Our years are realities—or strong delusions, our masks blending our preferences: this series of confusions, this stressed orbit, or days to palms of sawdust: hither, our dreams, as returning to city quarters, if but congratulated for fairer those vices: that voyage through deserts, our harping realities, this wavy falderal to spectators: our morbid chase, our spectacular captures, or our testimony seeming extravagant: those tears as poets, this flame for arts, or our thirst quenched by illusions: as men constructing, where women weave—our children oblivious to partialities: our whistling flutes, our scorpion friendships, while something lingers beneath our surface—those concrete ropes, this fiery excitement, or those first three years: as needing exhilaration, while chasing omen fantasies, to exhaust one’s life through promised unrealities: this space of passions, this hope in dreams, where one reenters our public domain.               

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...
