The Garden Uprooted

 

into archives, foul responses, at something

iron-completeness; tender bleeding,

alienation, one is fitting a stereotype;

stigmata at dear escapades, viewed

crookedly; reading Ecclesiastes, running

into snow-covered-deserts, something is

inside—a phantom-blanket, rosewood

eyes, I can’t escape the fasts; its filmed

contradiction, it becomes nonchalance,

if to fuse with blue ribbons; those casual

dismissals into fair teal creatures, a

symbol stagnated at gates.

 

so curious to adore deaths, angered if to

imagine a fence;

bold, sable eyes, a man’s sanction, pain,

rubies;

 

a mild voyage, a carriage, Elisha

inside;

a mental kingdom, fretted, guts

screeching, unsatisfied;

 

morbid feelings, excruciating emotions,

it never registers without a location;

tuxedo-thoughts, to encounter voltage,

needing and begging liaisons; entangled,

lost, it felt like heaven, sacred—raw,

disciplined by the rage, destiny became

silk.

 

those webs, furious survivors, made

circumstantial; to cleave to essence,

to die, passion unearthed, graves born;

to look closer, to do it differently,

groundbreaking rivalries.

                                                                                   

never by touch the feral truth, battling

sorrows.

esoteric cries to drum by seams into

absent lights; sheer deficit, congenial

misery, found suitable for attraction;

marble skies, irresistibility,

close to agonies; flipped by a river,

cringing horizons, rainbows near

promises.

 

unlatched, an ebony winner, running

into fields, painted by the excitement;

sipping inheritance, sold on perfection,

slight deviation means unworthy; the

complete saga, irrational peace, it

doesn’t matter, it feels enchanting;

a man to his mirage, ferns unpruned, at

lakes amid an ocean breeze; pavement

galaxies, torn fragrances, realism,

reduced to an apple; an aged

solicitation, by the comforting

disaster, it felt good to redeem.

I’d Save The Reader Years

    The beat becomes sickness. A long crucible—a drilling ecstasy. I was losing focus, feeling forbidden, if to self, if to mirrors. So curs...
