Cave Bats


It becomes us, our morning reminders, those uneasy spaces: living incognito, feeling unexplained, and wrestling emptiness: those rippling dreams, our turns churning music, where analyses comes filtered: predispositions, angled determinants, our Eastern Literature: waving at mirrors, listening to thoughts, or practicing oration: at roads trekking, while trailed by geckos, pausing, looking forward, below an orange horizon: into minds, admiring careers, filled with sensation: abrupt at points, those casual stars, while examining silent language: sensitive souls, at life and lights, at turnpikes staring at symbols: our curious incentives, our carry along bags, while we rummage through luggage: so enlove, so channeled, so approved: those railroad trains, tugging existence, while leaping freights: so uncomfortable, at a second with coffee, or an hour with mindfulness: as someone visits, a thrill in excitement, as something disappears: those lighthouses, those raging seas, our mental imagery: needing insistence, residing in resistance, such casual pretenders: but life is different, this allotment for souls, where many are soaring and out of spheres: wondering lately, concerning this mixture, where training, anguish, and stillness provide a plateau: those existential ingredients, dressed by pragmatic solutions, while we desire something metaphysical: our taste for numen, our release from samsara, out angular frustration with nirvana: our children gawking, those resilient sponges, while mimicking behavior: those psychic intuitions, those adolescent screams, at something royal and complete: our minds racing, our souls calculating, our women striving into madness.
