Do Not Quench Gently


so much the complication livid in souls where there’s fire and danger and liabilities…

I survive this emotional economy splayed in vivid traffic and accursed by existence…

our lives given to interruption and racing for clarity at fuller completed consequences; our men to something crucial this aftermath of tensions or this quaint way we tinker with facts; our flame for our cause but similar causes defuse our sockets while fevered for equality; it becomes this or that in this hectic storm or ours vs. yours or something so inclusive it is soon defeated; at movements through art or casual classes in theories while full pledges soon deteriorate….

discussion is lively for academicians but such is anger for inequality where so many are trying to collect data; those unheard voices or this cagey atmosphere where the Other is trying to articulate; but many are absent from colloquiums while specified as a topic where such passion has become elitist; our minds at battle unless our souls are on vacation while so many have dropped out of this race.

I switch to this lowness at present where an image is floating while concerned about our antennas; such rough beauty or such cruel prettiness where it may feel good to afflict something holy; our histories fraught with violence where humans are intolerant and recourse becomes brute aggression; our political-economics, our fey-like examination, while every race feels they carry a burden…
those things we adjust in order to keep sanity those brighter skies those relic cathedrals at something so delicate and terrible in essence to outlive survival….

I shift comets after such vague discourse while a few are seeing with clarity; but souls are wandering and children are dying and we need prayer for Haiti; our minds are scattered and fragments speak silence while a typewriter is freely its expression; this ghostly air this ghostly hand or something so fresh I can’t remember; our spiritual chores while something is tugging to believe in you with so little to exercise; this exorcist in men this sainthood in men or this bestial feather in men; as something is nudging and something needs an audience where this something hides because of taboos; our holy clouds so spidery and cleaving if but this ruined atmosphere; those whet feelings this need to invest while too underestimated to fail.

such hydrant harmony or instrumental functionalism as born to die but also to live; this island of teapots or this kettle so loud while a young adult is rereading Sun Tzu; our palms filled with keys while attempting this lock where memories have been decoded; this thing in most this need to poke a little fun while our worlds are not terrific; one knee for suffering or one charm for survival so knotted and so knitted it begins to ache.

I see myself losing a particular battle while winning a particular scream at wonder concerning this ideal in spirit; such language analyses or such literature to live while a simple kind word might be the determinant; so romantic about dying or so alienated about living while songs are sung to induce revival.
