Octopus Glasses


…such cold islands, pacing through graphics, replaced but sameness, at cures and agonies: this wild friction, this devastated cosmos, so enlove, so cultured, feeling ghosts: ashamed of mirrors, reversed but hiding, so flung, so free, so unchained: those red horizons, those dream monsters, to find ignorance an aphrodisiac: our plaintiff arcs, our plaintiff flowers, our plaintiff grins: so infatuated, so loved, so unable to embrace love: so ruined, so gutted, so appropriate with rain: so gifted, to see dysfunction, to decode this sky-gloom: Amen, Father—this internal miracle, this absent chief, or this found artifact: those dreary, damp caves, this blackdamp existence, our black, darkened lungs: at hungry work, at daughter days, at mothers pleading reflection: so aloof to it, at tears and frustration, but so waterless: this whet sin, those eager alleys, trekking through mire and debris: a glass of gravel, a plate of cement, our gourmet with something dazzling: so unfamiliar, but, instead, so shy, as pulled, yanked, and delivered: unfeeling crowds, those mental anthems, where Love was great a season at dying: to sense something personal, an interior gem, something radiating through conscious souls: to want like murder, to need like Jesus, while denied like Moses: such trenchant yearning, such desperate arts, so confused, so withdrawn, and damaged clinically: so many questions, re-pictured in frames, so portrait, so perfect for deaths, too abused to win….

We gnaw insistence—leering at agonies, so cherry, so loquat: burning a fever, thoughts racing, clear to spend too much: while Love is hidden, and Love is groaning, to turn a corner and find Love: at gray fire, at blue flickers, where a bit of music seemed appealing: prosaic pain, prosaic museums, while anguish carried us: agouti instincts, leopard spots, while core principles dispute change: at brown creatures, computing attraction, while cleaving to safeness: to know for passion, to agonize for existence, or to love two seconds from screaming: our broken skies, our ladies battling, a shadow, a shoji, and complete silence—at rigid, jagged shards, or reread, jury symbols, so revved, so jotted, so separated—as crazed for Love, as hating Love, while afraid to re-birth Love: those helium stars, this helium brain, at a helium psych: so cautious with it, so premeditated, so right with responses: those captive eyes, locked in guts, to persuade an inner binocular: craving science, reported in science, a bit retrieved by science.     …rooms by mosquitoes, or caiman genes, glaring, so readily into phenotypes: intrigued by petite, rethought in textures, a bit thrilled by voluptuous: this rich capacity, our eyes needing eternity, while small arms seem so fascinating: our muscular passion, our pentacle noise, to gaze upon a fair creature: so locked in eyes, so bold and crazy, or pure piranhas dedicated to devastating: those rare seconds, those distinctive but different women, or axioms proving haywire: so cursed to exist, so cursed to perish, while in-between waltzing with Lazarus: at Abram’s bosom, this dear soul, but life needs more to dance: conversing mirages, at auras, tears, and fire—feeling with guts, abused by perceptions, looking at Love those revealing garments: such bodily appeal, such a Picasso face, or better, Michelangelo’s Muse: but a silent cedarchest, this box of desires, where too much is certain to have effects….

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...
