Indeed, Fire or Water, Boiling or Simmering


I flowered by affliction, so under-cursed, so fluorescent; a glistening soul a frantic preacher while uncouth, uncivilized, or staggering between ethics; this altercation with this village mirror to presume worth based upon ghetto inheritance; at roses forthwith, at immediacy as love, while most were hurting too deeply; so confused to meet you to see such sophistication while sober enough to discount affinity; so gone into winds, wending this vast platform, where mathematics are ignored; something dormant, something unconscious, while something subliminal.

To die in essence to become manic affectation where bodies clash or collide into freedom panic; those gut-wars steep in orison while upchucking spirits; those bars in us this slice of beliefs those pantomime deacons;

but so fragile or so aloof while fear was admonished;

this rich condition those postscript notes or this cliff appealing to something destructive; studded with infatuation but something selfish at times with nothing of value; such cultic vibrations such aloof frequencies while a woman must survive; indeed, a man falls for diamonds a woman notices his jewelry but said man is dying in a flush;

such fever or frail responses while a man is semi-over-there.

Torn welted fires as one might pledge any-but-everything he can’t give!

I sought solace in a kingdom I couldn’t preside over. I sought something as miracle, where years were preparation, to come at one unprepared to meet that requisite. Or by major negligence, a wistful-wishful inclination, nor were eyes wild with furious flames; this stream of absences those abstract proclamations or this ghetto antiphon.

I circle sequoias hallowed in retrospection or at one wondering but purely on point; this strange island this unfamiliar terrain so acknowledged but unknowingly:

countenances seeming like brick but true interior where days are unscheduled for intimacies; our cocoon passages those wailing but unspoken where a contour screams but is unwilling to touch;

if but to outsoar sketches while a first impression is enigmatic insomuch nothing prepares for those fireballs.

I look for language to reveal luggage where it has become a nightmare; for people die daily in this existence but living where mental voltage is haywire. I might win in instances to lose the grand jury while held as dear for eternity; or a man meets monthly to sense something declared while one says something alarming; or our best behaviors projecting nuances for both are hypersensitive: indeed, fire or water, boiling or simmering, as beasts made civil.
