Elephant Eyes

 

love is fruitful, languishing at times,

ruling

with fierceness.

 

the exterior rib, the interior connection,

many untherapeutic cigars. to venture 

an unsung song, scribbled as

nondescriptive, accursed for a ruined

man: the steep consensus, America in

Europe, ghettoes stifled.

 

ecumenical spikes, remarkable chasms,

souls are taught to listen: brazen

faces, benighted charms, liquid roots.

 

terrible makeup, enamored frustration,

intangible-reachable skies: the inner

roadrunner, hyena genetics, the

the mental carnival: cut with silence,

thrust through by spears, the game of

jousting souls.

the musical vice, the musical charm,

the

musical travesty.

 

quivering morale. over Palestinian

women,

to hear Persian cries.

 

art is floating, keystones are

employed,

if to decipher the meaning of

existence.

 

decreased zeal. increased cynicism.

without warning, becoming

skeptical.
