Connectivity & Retrospection

 

I keep it innocent. I fret an assertion. You have wit—mystery. I’m parched for discussion. You exist with schism. You sing silence. I was with truth, a hurting ocean, to keep fact—nothing tangible, weighed on scales, do we possess, maybe some fantastical obsession.

I never met you; I saw you; you advertised characteristics, you shared inconsistencies, convictions. If I may—years suffocate ideals, strengthening bonds, maybe something was misidentified. I remember you said a fiat concerning being selfish: to till science, to celebrate one-sidedness. Much calamity upon a manic memory: skinless sculptures. I imagine more, must be missing life, dedicated to contemplative existence, as beauty grows into sophistication. No longer as shy, knowing it’d be explosive, confrontational, major disputes, racial concerns. If I may—to touch imperceptibility, to engulf anesthesia, dealing with a powerhouse. If I may—do you still fly, is art pivotal, are you still cautious? Some become fruitful, daring, needing life, incautious at times, forced to knees, repenting the trauma. You relish in reenacting, majorly mature, familiar with yearning.
