Pains & Triumph

 

should it arrive at noon, plenty of

poison into a cup, joy overflows?

certainly Africa hears, assuredly

Europe knows, we fight to adore

something foreign. so estranged

from mirrors, so alienated from

justice, love refuses to slip away.

axioms about pain, feelings run

contrary, into a daisy, many wide

smiles. Spain, more Italy, Hispanic

angels. to love inside of us, to die

right away, passion fretting allergies.

a keeping to pain, knitting keepsakes,

as children wishing dreams. to speak blackness.

 

ontic intuition, romance made into

a thetic vase; lovemaking becoming

advocation. tell me screams, gnaw my

brains, a body might become illegal.

to run from authorities, hiding in

crevices, to travel to Mexico. to dance

like feathers, as creatures laughing. to

outsoar the first love, to re-arrive at

those curly eyes, those swiveting

knees. such sway over senses,

angst is terror, fey is uncommon.

so much a huge heart, so damn delicious,

loving is regal. a cradle for

a child, as to give all of self, if

to feel much the voltage. as pictureless

creatures, dying cheetahs, if most to

resurrection!

 

sightless, headstrong, invisible souls;

at heritage, feeling illegal at acres,

looking for mules at harps, dancing wildly.

 

to cherish our engines, to reoil our

arts, while listening like an earthquake.

a gallery of our pictures, an arc

in our story, a fable in our screams.

a silent attraction, a whistling

teapot, as bringing out the sin in us.

a kettle blowing, an arm waving,

sound beneath seas.

 

into a ravine, nearby a canyon,

too late to escape. a bear clawing,

hyenas watching – we know us as

triumph.
