Creating Shadows


We paint silence, we decide upon motion, every activity is thought: faced with differences, evolved as creatures, living by favored behavior: so restricted in time, such casual defeat, purposed to outwit mirrors: our fables with teas, our souls as locksmiths, those keys up for auction: our warn souls, thrown into existence, weary about those ocean skies: as instruments, attempting at love, and panting a bit violently.     I sense shackles, such derision, our wealth determining our freedoms: such intimate philosophy, such haunting metaphysics, such suspicion cornered by smiles: our needs for touch, our arms pushing fences, our souls tugging gates: such whispering rain, such wheezing insistence, or so fretted concerning possibilities: at dark hopes, or glimmering appraisals, so quick at dismissals: to live silence, while tired by silence, while reality becomes a loud creature: as but to arise, as but self-regulation, so indebted to ambition.

I rejoin self, after a long trip, gazing at clouds: this evident tension, this vital sunrise, those subterranean forces: at life with kisses, flung into hemispheres, arranged in circles: such expedient cries, our moon melting, our sun retracting heat: our days mope, our nights speculate, our evening tea is quite exhilarating: if but away this life, if but excavated from fiction, if but strong enough to see—this web of confusion, this gate of illusions, while wrestling with thoughts: such interior rehearsal, repeating delusion, if but to sell a grander deception: to live with this, to find joy in this, to act surprised while threads are unknitting…I ponder joy, this created endeavor, founded upon interior clearness: such mutual awareness, such actual survival, plus, two seeds: our weekend movies, our buttery popcorn, our sweetened soda pops: such awe at actors, such relieved sequences, at something promising excitement: such suspense, at moments gasping, at seconds disappointed: as suspending judgment, wrestling with anticipation, floored by cinema surprises: this simple movie, this great joy, glimpsing from moment to seconds.

…we must exhale, as releasing webs, centered in something evocative: those subtle scents, our chilly homes, our recounts concerning vicissitudes: our baked muffins, our laughing hearts, at something quite gentle: while making moments, surprised by reception, to sudden upon watery eyes: this kiln for survival, this wheel for riches, or this ship for sailing: our midday trips, our courageous passion, as filled with something tangible: this force in minds, this experiential sequence, our memories becoming interior science: this formula for happiness, those soft, gentle gestures, at deep thoughts concerning affection: those repeating eyes, those repeating sentiments, our comforts forming huts: depending upon rudiments, finding joy in repetition, or longing for household aromas: indeed, with gravity, or eloping daily, as built in something soul-fed….

We scribble existence, launching our rockets, enduring tummy aches: such pure acceptance, to see rejoicing in self, to land so softly: our outer parachutes, our quasi-saviors, our evenings flushed by redemptive properties: so fretted at times, roaming our endurance, or such restless sleep: our dreams about family, our interpretive arts, at psychical domains: to chuckle from guts, to rush through showers, or studying with sheer enjoyment: our tired bodies, our rethought minds, our jubilant hearts: at shifts in time, probed by reality, a bit thankful for clarity.

…such deep glitter, such deep affection, spinning through deep endeavors: our furnace fires, our marshmallows, our chocolate: our carefree seriousness, our watchful cadence, our trenchant vulnerability: to have fought for life, this appeal in life, seated with thankfulness….
