Dear Swan: Our Orange Robin


I see doors, Love—as some are shut, while otherwise open: our daily hassles, our leaping hearts, or those few fugitive(s): our bones speaking tribalism, our guts whispering discontent, or our marrow seeping into realities: as old for young, or young for old, around corners brandishing fire: this lady in silver, this wretched torment, those miracle women: our Gwen Stefani, our lights for machinery, our axioms for long-division.    

I’m lost for address, this bland language, or this mute channel: nonetheless, I dance clouds; I’m up-side-down; while stressed for relieved: this trying secret, this disenchantment, or years to three tears     this soul scythed, those scissors leaking, this faucet dripping resistance     as men seeking salvation, if but her eyes, if but her miracles: our changed dispositions, or rapturous thoughts, to imagine justice, and thereto, become attached: this filmy vision, this kleptic demon, while reality points to mental madness: this detached attraction, this livid calmness, or those tinted glasses: this window yelling, this psych administering, while nuns undress deceptions: that cold power, those long nooses, or this gnarm barking with dragon feet.

…by Rites of Passage, Love—to have insistence, where souls are boiling: this shark at home, this shark to spines, this daughter as part shark and dragon     those inner movies, this deep confession; To travel where thoughts produced realities: this foolish cello, this crutch for Love, this ruling fever: as arranged by chaos, this typing participant, to realize that shoulders are carrying opposites: that precious test, those analytical eyes, or that niche for business—while reading knowledge     or collecting data     or speaking tongues with hummingbirds: this mocking song, to lose a lung, to rebuke a friend: this travesty music     this loyal penguin     or leopards rearranging spots: our parents to souls, our daughters to marriage, our children running into ponds: those meerkat mathematics     this hungry mongoose     this deceptive cobra: as feeling reality, to sing by passions, where rolling eyes become endearing….

…we agitate excitements, where dreams are forbidden, whilst Love saunters magic: this webbed spider, this last figuration, our existential Incredible Hulks     as wrestling screams     to assist something normal     where reflection wonders of its slice: that portrait, this picture, this tableau—as gunning through exospheres     while seated in esoteria     as analyzed this Japanese reality: those shaded arcs, this dismissal for some, this hardcore anger for father     whereas, it feels important, if but to express, such reaching loneliness….

We subject ourselves, while lying as but normal, to pass an un-credited dream: those rabid foreclosures, our crashing stock markets, our inner demolitions: where professors dance, as psychs wave wands, while Life is there for deconstruction: to participate, Love—to dance so freely, to paraglide with spirits, to create turquoise fire     that red lava, those cherry picked eyes, to give this essence you’ll receive: our grannies mourning, our fathers dying, where we persevere laughing at strangers     that morning’s raccoon     those starfish and sea-stars     those red deer panic buttons     at savannah cheers     at lizard mania     to realize snakes are repenting: this island of miracles, this churned realism, or tasmanian-song-glints     our bottled noses     our blue duck rivers     or tomorrow painted by impassivity: indeed, Love—to adore is easy, but pure imagination is excruciating     as emeralds chance, or songbirds flip, indeed, this hidden language: our running guts, this beautiful swan, to write and feel music.
