Belly Flute


…so late but gifted, to need those winds, to valley this tension: so deceased, a damn near infant, plummeted for spoils: those charms laughing, this ink of questions, a slight chill, an infant’s sneeze, or mother’s response: at freedom daughters, or freedom professors, or freedom men—to survive so long, where something is underappreciated, while witnesses point and mock and repent:

…at heart-ropes, this tiptoeing trapeze, so lost in tiny particles: those friendship eyes, under deep scrutiny, such flowery language: so sweet to hear you, so captive with concerns, at wonders to hide you: this hyena’s world, this wolverine’s forest, while spirituality is misspelled: at darker memories, or intense fantasy, while I practice speaking to a second born: to possess something pure, while feeling attached, where psychs and lieutenants raid our compound:

…I never knew, this sick ass passion, so thrown for something irrelevant: it meant nothing, merely routine, as heathens and thieves, or gunning too fast: those appropriate hours, so skipped with time, where we pretend softly: such by curses, or opalescent minutes, while life took essence….

I adore you, this plural singularity, so addressed as studied: rereading cherry-blossoms, or walking shrubberies, too proud to forfeit something indelible: our antes, our antelopes, our arts, our courage: such delicate tendons, such talkative arms, such anklet goodbyes: as never so close, but ever so scarred, feeling so resistant: deliberate ink, or tattooed names, while we look in desperation: treading problems, while searching for closure, or sensing something too delicate for temperaments: those intense reasons, climbing upward, but six feet deeper: trekking skies, looking into Jesus, observing a wild ideal: this curse for souls, those constant chirpings, or romantic, idealist, even panicky eyes—to hold souls, to uplift a beating drum-pain, as poured into sexuality: or harsher years, rummaging countenances, while expressions speak memories: so captive a glance, or cold an envelope, while behaving as therapists: (so haunted by experience, so charmed to overview, or possibly, too close to adoring you: such burgundy rugs, such scented couches, while seated upon Infinity—this casual acapella, those reticent smiles, while ghosts hover our evenings: at purple intestines, so moved with time, while appeasing darkness): at heart-works, or firestorms, or plain illusion: those sky-ribbons, our souls knitted, or chained, while keys are tossed asunder: so much in experience, so far from receiving, while something spacial.

…such private angst, striving by excellence, informed through mini-mirrors: glancing at remarkable, sensing something facetious, while giggling looking into paradise: such deeper grief, such weeping soil, at peculiar encounters: those crystals, this moon, our allegiance: so many errands, so many castles, so many rooms: this haunted hallway, those portrait disguises, so alarmed by unsteadied minds: (it became mercy, while kneeling but disdained, while plurality appeared): so terrified, so lost, feeling creeks and dunes and sand-printed:

…more to you, and more to ghosts, while you never understood—those sky-tunnels, this underground, or better, this underbrush: at fire-threads, so locomotive, amid a room feeling its tornado: such dangerous ambition, at tender soil, or dungeon anticipation: to give too much, while requiring too much, where humans build architecture: such louder language, such luggage land, so addicted to something shunning:

…our miscommunication, our cloud islands, or those pedestals: as reborn intellects, or reaching intuitions, received in energy, avoided in body, while hands and souls and dreams are regarded: so next to silence, so redeemed, so casual or plain walking through hazards: those chemicals, those screams, indeed, so sober, so ugly, and God’s special project….

The Great Mystery

    I couldn’t shake inclination, a dislodging instinct. I remeasure all consisting of us. Such a nudging, sweet humiliation, carved excitem...
