The mantis life; the life of Quixote; the life of Malcolm.
Tiger pupils, God’s Liver, a demon’s hostility—
aside a cactus, the major controversy behind water.
Lemur eyes, movie magic, a panda’s heart.
I must be careful, in the admiration comes affection, in the affection comes love, in love the mind is ruptured.
Noetic Tibet, tribal Africa, traveling empire to empire, alerting deaths.
Tailored prayers, secret meanings, accustomed to being an underdog.
The mantis suffers, Quixote was damaged, Malcolm was a Symbol formed by existence.
We never say it: we’re faced by cirrhosis.
Many dancing. The body struggling. It keeps taking hits.
The mind raging, wishing to break free, the thinking has become a hassle.
Wool flannels. Chafe flesh. Clumsy at points.
Rushing too fast.
Nostalgic. Taking courage to move forward.
