I Sought a Hermit


I love this ideal, so romantic in it, such communion by it; this travesty, so close to roses, abandoned to adoring you; this hard hell, this glen city, this ruminating maniac; so effused to die, so infused to live, staring too long at mirrors; our broken delights, our delicate comforts, to look over and drop a tear; to need full love, to desire full acceptance, while roaming an endless community; our lights with films, our vim with patience, while ancient emotion stems a river; so caught in us, so captured by remorse, reaming and railed, staring into confusion. Those desperate encounters, this deliberate hex, while a dead man knows for glory; at ails and aging, at cliffs confident in casualties, or running followed by cognitive dissonance; if but those years, as young and vibrant, to imagine with time this cheerleading congratulations; our arrythmias, our sudden firecrackers, to adore something too aloof to capture; such illustrations, such illusions, so ill and forgiven—thrust into gardens, forced to prune feelings, while something zin is transpiring; those kleptic advantages, to rob an innocent soul, where one possessed good intentions; our congestion, our confabulation, our congruous delusions; as impatient creatures, running for freedoms, with hounds so obedient; a fatal scar, a field of cotton, plus, a white fairer queen; such dissonance, such inadequate love, while Passion brought ointment for the wounds; chasing ideas, longing for freedom, within a Douglass environment; so contagious, Love, our daughter wars, Love, while afraid to love as Juliet; this fairer fool, this dynamite luxury, so captive inside; at years with glory, at secrets so cultic, while pantomimes melted sunrise; our arcs, Psych, our dreams, Mystic, this fretted ink-battle, Husbands; our delectable sorrows, our needed tragedies, our favored miseries; to tell a secret, to die a rose, to believe despite this rung; such fair science, such incredible religiosity, to gleam, but a seam, or a radiant clenching scream!  

It requires craft, this raft of science, this rust and gust and fusing; to need one this moment, to drop a tear, realizing I’ll come through but more isolated; this dependent self, this independent perusal, while ruse and gut and rut and star; abrasive realities, conjured from afar, while madness becomes a certain category; our thoughts in ink, our blinking bottles, to come so close to evading closets; this truth, this goose, this golden library; where love is groves, and pain is ingrained, and nouns are so important; this irksome habit, this rabbit interior, while Bugs seemed quite arrogant; this Daffy life, so pure an incentive, while condemned to miss this landmark; at tears those days, so lost those graves, at slaves in me, at silence in me, at sailing for me—to drift or drown, to die or detach, while survival comes with losing something vital; this idle self, as but a title, flippant with such disgusts; looking like lost, gangly those grounds gunning, or penchant a pail of pain.

I sought a hermit, to rescue this albatross, for I killed something holy; I loved like crazy, I amazed for a short time, and I got lost in a dream; our needs scraping gravel, our comely forms, our arms so heavy; letters spelling issues, tissue splayed in membranes, our courage waning heavily; so removed by you, so innocent in you, at forks in terrors by cognition; such travesty, such tragedy, while comedy becomes terrific silence; this dying in me, this love in me, to divorce everything she couldn’t teach me; this wild running, this rustic ideal, while railing against human treachery; to relive in us, to rustle in us, to bustle in dust, to trust while cleaving to something protecting egos; this dead soul, repenting for father, while mother is singing; so drenched, so dreaded, and so dreary; this formality, this foregoing, while framed in fragments and feelings; our guts giggling, our minds rushing, where it feels good to forget with life; searching for one cacophony, but listed as an intruder, while Love saturates a particular vignette!       

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...
