The unsettling fishtank
dream remains/ luminous!
& yet confined to it's own/serene state
of sheltered existence, there is no/reaching in and interrupting this Indian fire two thousand years old/only a deep sense of burden that you couldn't n will never/
be a section of its gaze
There will be no kindling of Spirit while whispering the secret of your/madness to
a staircase/
There will be no eyes & alms to forgive and guide your restlessness at night/the sky will not forget your cowardice in absolute emotional expression
How you stray from kissing a holy lover the way you've always ached to!
The Summer will not reverse its eternal poetry from your skin/
will not smile watching you blunder through childhood, tending to your fear with higher
priority than your great wound
It (this longing to be smothered & worthy rest) will not reschedule to next week
just because you read the daily horoscope
and it "applies" to you now!
/soldier & your MobyDick heart & saintly revelations on the silence of your neighbors & shaving off ur insecurities/causing you to bleed & be sent off to the HOSPITAL & the staff is laughing down at your mangled face, anyways
& you have done with the destruction caused in a moment of blushing cheeks
Dye fills the head with ego painting & unexpressed volumes ! Oh!
The circus remains fearless but still uninformed, worn down in its senseless practice & schoolboys cry observing the clouds lose train of thought to the music of Berlioz
My terrible soul skips/unblinking from the pondrous black cat who lingers above my dreamworld/to Gustav Klimt & his empyrean entanglement/
out to the parking lot which cannot mind it's own bussiness
trees of insoluble space
haiku lion
prisons kept hush hush
so its prisoners may forget
again where they weep
(how are you dear? I wish I could be a lasting impression)
Since birth
many of us have successfully
avoided the barbaric
heat of life
I haven't been uplifted by beautiful
laughter in a long time
the laugh that uplifts this whole Earth
A child to die so early
