Swan Religion


…indeed, Love, as cordial a maniac, at triumph and pain: to sense such eyes, writhing through turmoil, so cursed for blessed running into mayhem: this curious father, this distant mother, as one accursed for sensing life: this hidden pyramid, this bridge at passages, to realize Love is terminal: at deaths and lights, at miracle successions, to realize life concerns dying: our spaces emit, this cleft in existence, where passion seems under-elevated: at wines midday, at honesties midmorning, while secluded with a name flaring into fires: our cautious psychs, this deep taboo, while one is demonized: but Love is gentle, and Love is strong, and Love reads with keen senses: those long legs, jogging midnights, or so inclusive one makes pledges: this Buddhist Colony, this interior nunnery, to need something promising: this life of reaching, if but unsung, while words come so seldom: at terrific sacrifice, if but to archive, while laboratories flush out manic fathers: to die those reasons, to inflect justice, while so tawdry: this cheap existence, this wellic cry, to know for essence built in tyrannies: this mean swan, this casual swan, this sentimental swan: at granny for answers, at something early in lights, while it becomes easy to compose: this fair skinned damsel, this fair spaceship, or romance seeming quite personal: those dreary faces, as alive our presence, to realize a certain affect: this changing by lives, this interior merry-go-round, while essence seems effected: but yours is life, and yours are kites, and yours are racetracks: those speedy feelings, those quick decisions, while so underdeveloped: at prayer laughing, at meditation giggling, such as transference: this cultic reality, to tell for truths, a person may affect something internal: our blue havens, this red castle, where mother is desperate to oversee: those few friends, those trenchant conversations, to go through college a bit dependent: at livid politics, or pantomime agreements, to hit a space where aggression seems necessary: if but those eyes, if but that grin, or heads a slight turn evaluating phenomenon: where father is gravely, while granny failed this enterprise, while essence came to haunt a father: this miracle, Love, those deep apologetics, Love, where everything is forgiven.     …we adore you, at worship at sinning, something so indebted: to fathom such cries, to imagine such treasury, while economically driven: this penchant for life, this essence born strife, as accustomed to long analyses: so captured and lovely, so tender and evil, where one might suggest a mean soul: at interior graves, searching out identity, while feeling lost in limbo: this white mother, this mulatto father, this intensive stepfather: at Love pushy, at deaths a bit quiet, at rosemary a bit insistent: if but to exist, if but intensive, if but a casual observation: to sense inconsistencies, to adore a sibling, while demanding accountability: as cursed so early, to live as divided, where everything in up in air’s arms: to feel a bit guilty, this whale exploding, while breath appears so sweetly: our bowels in terror, our whimsical feelings, while something rests deep within: those pearl blue diamonds, those old trinkets, while seeming sentimental: (where adults hate, as final analyses, children need radical answers: this space in souls, this miracle insight, to imagine days at treasuries): our bold overtures, our facial armoires, so beautifully dressed feeling with anxieties: at lance and harp, at core and bone, while fretting reality: those perfect homes, at prim fascia, while many are three steps passed dartmoor: if but to alarms, or gray-hounds, or tender tarantulas: our faces speaking electrically, our minds roaming valleys, our situations demanding accountability: as lost and livid, or excited and cursed, where clouds communicate existence: such soft rain, such filthy predicaments, while desperate to ignore for others: this melting lens, those percolating kettles, or this morning’s indecision: at hopes and obligations, at tears and silence, where true sisterhood is a bit sacrificial….
