Waterless Sands

 

years given to darkness as living in Alaska neat ice at our furnace. so bizarre or so slanted until water turns beige.

tender Beijing eyes or soft agonizing helium sure-welted-flesh.

ideas are molten like souls in hell such rendering for false repentance.

fingertips filled with hyssop or palms sticky from sap where two strike a campfire. such difficult tents, maybe a cheaper brand, it reminds of our categorized philosophies, where a skeptic is better than a cynic, or deontology seems more apt than utilitarianism, or epistemology indicts our core knowledge.

many have no place for that!


I was agile in adolescence. I once palmed a snowflake. they were falling everywhere. the gentility of the child, or nature’s fertility, our passé orientation. to drift at times, with little to extract from, while many seemed absorbed in thought.

we tailor our dreams, chopping chunks out, because they look unwelcoming. we seem to complain a lot, in every circle, it comes naturally. we never think about it, nor listen closer, it just passes that way. such minor handicaps in screams becoming havens like hounds on the mansion.


life is its imagination some cuisine something cooked but still raw; so much to give or exhaust or replenish. in part, we remain with appreciation, our ghostly transitions, our aches in gold our trails through sands.  

Grays as Wars

    I never quite capture it. I remain distracted. Years to silence. It would be psychological, to war a man’s brains. To talk badly to non-...
