We Fight to Exist


…hectic interior, a pivotal axis, those dreams, those fires, flushed and needy: so close to pain, something christic, by origin and flame: nocturne sea-lions, nocturne bodies, our toes fiddling seaweed: a cursed sunflower, such minutes in soils, such a day for graves: our precious daffodils, our precious organs, our floating animosity: it’s ash and rubies, our first seconds with light, our slow, curious and kleptic deaths: such memory, so close to sunrise, to awaken in cotton….

I died to know you, as an exterior phantasm, so hiked through jungles: I ate piety, I redressed pavement, I became inedia: those fillers, fasting over waters, our ship so close to shore: filed away, a chapter in novels, even a reread paragraph: so fueled our grays, such revving iridescence, so ivory, so penchant, so jasmine: at life in moments, tinted with invisibility, those apricot/aqua eyes: re-bled, fasting by remembrance, so reluctant to surrender: our faith in treasures, those mystic stones, those jasper cries: such radiant florescence, such flavescent gardens, or such manicured sensories: our casual introduction, a hint of disdain, while walking through migraines: as adult majesty, our soaring mechanism, so mango, so peach, so plum!

…raspberry topaz, devilish song, prided in deaths and resurrection: looking for dying, so near a furnace, while life is smoldering: flowing wings, flowing winds, or flowing casualties: too removed from feelings, too indebted to feelings, where many feelings are unsatisfied: a sapphire rose, a sapphire scream, at sapphire curtains: at something believable, at something fleeting, while we honor things we will towards nonexistence: those cubic grins, those interior gems, as radiance permeates our castles: those grander hats, those fluting miracles, at string, violin and cadence: so warm with love, so cold with interference, while angry enough to utter, I care: at plangent cries, at seas and storms, floating upon driftwood: those bottles there, those cloves nearby, or this radical dissatisfaction: this itchy feeling, this sweltering desert, this heatwave passion: at dismissive eyes, or crumbling eyes, as we try desperately to rethread….

I feel barrowed—waving through time, a bit selected by an alien: this can’t be life, pushing this boulder, and appeasing something critical: those tales about existence, this foolish feeling, while days blur into existence: our waking clocks, our steamy coffee makers, our bagel and cream cheese: our evening pick-me-up, our midnight water, our three to four mistakes: such routine, accustomed to protecting it, a bit off-balance when it shifts: those dependable responses, this wheel for coloring, our pride in pastels: our pears with memories, our pastas with wines, or our preference for turkey ground: this life by ribbons, this dissipating headache, while something beautiful is occurring: those new puppies, those cheerful eyes, or that watchful, musky raccoon: so encharge of existence, such slipping our reigns, reaching into pitch black coal.

We juggle jagged jigsaws, at fount, flare, and firebrand, our souls concerned with searing sanities: that thin composure: If but one more, so filled with both belief and skepticism: our love for sensories, this inner chamber, this sanctum of dreams: our passionate frenzies, or stoic mysticism, while feeling subtracted from existence: our measured deductions, this state of uncertainty, while fighting against perceived phantoms: our days with thoughts, our thoughts with intensities, while attempting to separate thoughts from feelings: our inner polygraphs, our mental typewriters, or more, those emotional narrators: our growing resilience, those mechanical games, while many need to set one astray!
