Firebird Waters


…we’ve died before, seeking elaborate prose, and chain-smoking violence: our mothers running, our aches churning, while tiptoeing lava lakes: summer winds, spring showers, and winter sunshine: so many trenches, communicating with emotion, or realizing a deep sickness: to out-gun our minds, to outreach our souls, where caskets multiply: as angry men, or forced to behave, while something heinous is percolating: but yours is life, outmaneuvering existence, or syndicated so deeply it’s too late: we tell storyboards, we recite new language, we banter and jest and fight: something humorous, or something chaotic, a single second determining existence: but yours is laughter, where irony poses concerns, to have read a man deciding in his favor: those ancient skies, this ancient exchange, while trying desperately to outwit science: our moving minds, so indebted to pash, indeed, a troubling suggestion: to bend fire, to make water elastic, or so exposed our bodies fail to respond: such trenchant turmoil, such trenchant trauma, alive for moments that spell—this drastic electricity, this kiln human, while so relaxed and silent: those days before hope, this sad specimen, while winning loses….

It was nicety hells, so showered in blindness, so sickly connected: those blue tender cries, this foolish intake, while needing something to redeem: this dying issue, this living miracle, to imagine our bodies as fluid and passion or such to dying un-affection—this red horizon, this stormy cadence, while too proud to admit this subtle dying: as livid in arts, or spectacular a conversation, but sustaining realities may prove detrimental: this harmful facing, this cased giant, where Love is quite prophetic: oh for profound pain, such darkness cascading lights, where art became poor, or poorness became riches, while church life became vows of silence: our interior destinies, at interior taverns, so alert to Sufis: but yours is captured, and yours is printed, while adults specialize in knitting: those black clouds, those phoenix birds, at stressors over firebrand: such flippant cries, pausing to rewrite us, while sick enough to forfeit this ante. 

I fell to havens, or roomy vestibules, this talkative hallway: I died in seconds, as seeing eyes, to realize, this is living: slammed into corners, or writing too much, as wise eyes see torments: so non-representational, so self-regulated, or emotionally disturbed: those nights to patience, while broken internally, to peer at self and collapse: our deep hankerings, our low self-images, while weather is crying: so lost and relocated; so deep in web-spins; as alive a sky bent with interior: this surplus of agonies, this beautiful self-portrait, or this threshing modulated sylph: to imagine ingratiation, so froward to reality, where a small pirate manifests into an ambassador: pouring into souls, those electrical slants, while poured into realities: dying but unflinching, arising but wincing, or cured a second with such epiphany: our bolder alleys, our gates so high, our fences taking photographs: at agents occasionally, at fraudulent birth control, where something strengthens through terror-lights: this inner conference, this interior millennia, while joking pacing our hookahs.

We share cigars, sipping something gentle, and giggling at dragonflies: such scarce confusion, those days so near, where insecurities lurk in shadows: to remember insistence, to feel a faux pas, as instincts retreat: such embarrassment, that younger soul, so sensitive and biting nails: pushing stealth as wealth, refocused with head-aches, drilling for purpose but seeming unrealized: such deep encouragement, but everso silent, our minds validating something obscure: those long blocks, this carnival at corners, where bibles are instrumental.    

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...
