Nightsong Crayons


I gaze by yonder, at terrific skies, at incredible dreams: applied but slanted, exaggerated but honest, at boundless memories: so precious those arts, so entangled our screams, but miracles seeping into existence: untold passion, relived depression, at something quite casual: our machinery, our bodies, our abandoned hopes: found but depleted, engraved but running, while reality gave birth: a deathless tale, a deathless intrigue, while souls contradict such fire: roaming jungles, picturing cats, at stars those late nights, so intimate at cries, so defenseless by love, where life became in total silence: such incarnation, such resurrection, so here, so forgetful, by a natural recollection: drifting those days, streaming freezers, so frozen, so warm, so disgusted: this plight in minds, those interior councilmen, so reluctant to put hives to sleep: if but our eyes, combed in liquids, those dreams in Cinemax: a bit prosaic, a bit with rain, while Love was terrified to find life: needing an auspice, or needing auguries, at august shadows: those reluctant angers, this flippant wind, where Love ached and died and finally flew south: but nights were shivering, and constellations were haywire, while anxiety poked and dashed and claimed our guts: this man with issues, this umbrella with problems, while one is mislead: asking, but devastated, for it must be liquor, where a man writes until ink becomes promiscuous: those happy vines, this elated irony, or such joyous agonies: as cut from sources, abandoned to woods, where passion infuriates its subjects.

…such token symbols, if but a woman’s grit, at signs and chaos and dying by scents: wafting candlelight, ignited displeasure, while fumbling into America: our Native screams, our abandoned children, while mother was exonerated: for it couldn’t be, this extraordinary life, as something harmful to every touch: a sweltering vision, a misty cloud, at erotic roses: or wild wood, and climatic roots, so chained, so cursed, and nothing compares: this frank hell, this candid death, at miracles but slipping grasps: those restored mirrors, those restored windows, but tales told justice: an interior upsurge, a frightened damsel, at courts and bars and scattered to zephyrs: such a close friend, those days at pillows, as if it was put to rest: our fair creature, a timbal at forest, a mental auger, or unstructured sutures: this windmill, those dingoes, or this observant coyote: at pastel veils, at crazed libraries, or rehearsing Power Points: those sexy librarians, or this mean ass lawyer, while souls believe in idols: this walking talisman, those empty charms, while one knew for dishonesty: our candy coated ears, our cotton promises, at love and life and disappearing….

It was mystic belief, such a hunch, unaware of dynasties: a clear mistake, a ruined image, a gutted war: I spoke of daughter, they spoke of riches, it was plain to witness: a mis-identity, from a deceptive grin, where Love pictures a vase: indeed, this castle crumbling, this father oblivious, this lie at nineteen years gunning: as never a thought, glazing over inconsistencies, about as inquisitive as a sloth: re-listening, hearing rumors, so sliced, so ousted, while speaking of true love: a friend’s laughter, a miracle to escape, even more, a miracle to maintain a positive image of women: back to harvest, as required to minister, while at sin like ministry: our magic waning, our lies crowing, our vines as internal cameras: our slumping spirits, our decrepit sincerity, where abed we shift and turn meditating wickedness: a clearer picture, while feeling restless, needing at least one victim a day: traffic ridges, sealed potholes, and we suggest life is perfect: so cantankerous, such a downpour, while angry at a stranger: repeated sacrifice, making good for another man, while dreams are sold to something we can’t have: at terrible feelings, at terrible curses, while needing one to believe in: at tragic eons, a drumbeat castle, so abrupt, so cautious, while too much becomes isolation: a bit critical, a bit of a mountain, while thirsty to rewrite those tablets: oops, and oops a person’s dreams, while screaming profanities.   

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...
