In a cross between
distortion and redemption,
soft pleas reveal and ease
our hidden tension.
It's only right to fix
the buckled road that led to this:
to mix up what is left
and what there isn't.

I am mixed up in what's left
and what there isn't.


Is love unlimited?
Could I amend all that I did?
admit defeat and use my walls
to bridge the distance?
I'll add my fragment thoughts up
with my heart's holy persistence.
Oh, tell me there's a way
to bridge the distance.

The lengths that I would go
to bridge the distance.

*Perhaps I should
stand still instead
in this specific instance.

Soaking,

like a patch of earth
whose cracks smile
but seed fruitless,

here
in your
saturated
words.

I take in sheets
that quench
too quick:

uprooted
disrepair.

In the pause between
your mouthfuls,

I take gulps
and gasp for air.

pleas and hints
l'éveil doux du prince
I'm convinced
que je connais sa langue.
que devrais-je faire,
si, oh, au contraire
and too late
, I realize I'm wrong?

I think of it seldom
and briefly,
respecting my wellness
as, chiefly,
I am motivated
by my emotions
and the power
of preconceived notions
that
may
not
even
exist.

It is not
just as much as it is.

and so I think of it seldom
and briefly.

"sooner sit in silence than in nonsense"
(a wasted breath to hush a quiet audience)

when writing-singing-screaming
to share ideas and dreams
doesn’t seem to change a thing
(none, some or all of it)

"there’s a peace of mind in private"
(it's not what I thought of it)

You remembered the honey to go with the cream for the tea that I drink while I'm reading.
Later I'll bend like the bind of my book so to show you the depth of its meaning.

emotion, mood, & temperament:
scope-events in threes.
weather, climate, atmosphere,
roots & trunks & trees.
tinder, fuel, afire:
all was what what is will be.
I look to see, envisioning
for id, ego, & me.
