Cinnamon & Nutmeg


I hawked emotion, laced with feelings—I gazed afar: such visitation, such remarkable thoughts, sharing is classical music.     It’s been years, at critical pursuits, while learning intricacies: those silent puzzles, such unprofessed richness, at particular persons: our bodies responding, our minds perusing, those unbeknownst caricatures: while Love breathes, such tender essence, our paths shattered by circumstance: at seconds with sentiments, at life with caution, while existence proves an irrational element: those Lawry’s eyes, those garlic holograms, affected by many vampires: to exist in shadows, where reality tugs gently, our souls leaping softly.     I heard it yelling, this inheritance from mother, our deeper nonchalance: at image families, disputing behavior, so close to forfeiting life: blame it on God, blame it on happenstance, or blame it on self: our core misfortunes, ignoring our audience, where some are quite culpable: such musical chairs, insistent upon guidance, while disregarding assistance: our terrible images; such ruthless protection; while humans are relocating their determination.     Kids are becoming monsters—adolescents are doing time—where adults are up in arms: that fair child, those fairer ideals, such intimate decisions—while tugging pirates, at interior swords, where seeming cursed becomes an option: those webbish thoughts, to seduce anger, where tyranny reigns in one’s life.

…wrongness is a stranger, for one unlearned, while society watches closely: this interlocked profanity, to need appreciation, while so dejected it seems impossible: our chains with suggestions, our days with despair, our interiors possessing this need to perish: this perfected cycle, this fulfilling prophecy, this vatic execution: as rightness is foreign, this abstract anomaly, while society is watching: as pointing harshly, this intimate law, where reality intrudes but humans retreat: our lives in sin, this word for misbehavior, while many become too holy: this need for worship, if but convergence, to have experience superseding embedded habits: this transformation, this inner personJ, as one sees differently: uprooted by powerful instincts, while disgusted by terrible realities, where injuries are forgiven: (I fall to Pharisees, this man of insights, this over-calculated Sadducee): a bit hard on self, this familiar pattern, so embedded in a young child: this need for appreciation, this want for proud tithing(s), this strong structure….

…something sees us, this public audience, while perfect imagery is saluted: those deep thoughts, this space with dregs, as distance becomes normality: while never a chance, or needing reception, our literary introduction: for something sees us, this interior machine, this living premise: as distant from behavior, this catastrophic occurrence, while one is losing essence: as overwhelmed by pain, becoming alienated internally, where reality seems skewed towards those different people: our years at aimlessness, our tears dried in cement, our convergence altering years of thought processes: this livid upheaval, this holy curse, while initiation becomes over-possession: or lost to behaviors, while society watches, while interior life haunts us….

…we’re aware of rightness, for it plays out repeatedly, where something denigrates those other people: this excuse for wrong natured behavior; or this realization cementing such difficulty; as one inclined to perform according to rules: those signposts, as determining right behaviors, while possibly a bit moody: this remarkable offshoot, this other essence emerging, while understanding right behavior: at times with goodness, at times defensive, at times in accordance with a given consensus: (where we question incorrigible, looking for source-identification, realizing our habits are both taught and internal responses)….         

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...
