#interstice
In the trembling space between us--slowly become Intersticed in you--small gaps in the stone a thrum That cathedral feeling stained glass moments light, An interval in-between forbidden deep into a night To stand in place--hold us between the walls of fate In the very thin of us whispers our quiet gap of late Reaching in the ever-reaching unsaid beauty we try I have an idea, real, we fall in the shadow as we die Lost but never losing in a soft of a tender--linger on Together in a place ripple with me you're not alone

In the Trembling Space Between
No solution is present Filling the interstice between our hearts 8-30-2017 @jobiranyc

Crevice (10W)
To all bone fragments of Galeria Del Osario 1. I want to place you in the depths of forgetting. Place you like a butterfly in a frame, looking alive but dead of course. Place you like how numbers are arranged from 1 to infinity (but who cares to count?) Place you like how chaos displaced darkness. Place you in the tip of a glacier knowing that the entire block will just disappear in a decade or two. Like how climate tries to displace us. Our trace will soon be forgotten. 2. Surely, the climate is too rigid between us; two beings who found separation in all degrees of telekinetic attractions. For two beings who found shelter in the anonymity of chance. Chance to meet. Chance to declare once and for all the unfolding of luck. Did luck really unfold or it was just me who hoped? 3. Time is the bare witness to all tragedies, say two lovers who never found the consolations of fate. Time is the curse of the flesh, the rotting wisdom of conscience. Time flees. Time forgets. Time remembers. 4. By all means, the world is too small. Sometimes we wage war to small dimensions seemingly large. Where are we by the time that the world collapses into a small room? Where are we when the room pretended to be small but the gap between us is a year, light years perhaps. Nomads, we are not. We cannot call any cave a home. After all, what sort of space would cater us? 5. A massacre happened 43,000 years ago. No one cares to remember. Nine of them were killed by new comers. El Sidron witnessed the coldest crime. If only tears can shed their fate, can we cry for them? Who cares to write their memories? Who cares to paint their thoughts? Who cares to count their broken bone fragments in the caves? I want to place you in the depths of forgetting.

After all, poetry is a savage calling. -Edel Garcellano Let poetry be an interstice. Say, an intervention to the gap of loneliness. Depressive. Let bitter medicines dissolve or, madness will make its ultimate call. Convulsive patterns of mental spasms. Schizophrenic impulse hitting the nerves. What is known to be rational flees. Enough to learn from the burning of its wings and Youth. Say, pulling a magic trick under the hat. You know you are being fooled but why enjoy such spectacle or, better enjoy than masking the truth. Say, a glimpse through an interstice—from Whitman’s poetry. An intervention to the rashness of day. An intercept to the chaos of the soul. A reminder that we are not assemblages forever desiring. A poetry fumbling to the course, enough to welcome the rain of sad realizations. “The task is heroic. Poetry is a minor matter” (E. Garcellano) – an intervention/interstice, the negotiator to the ultimate task of poetry. We are savage gods. We feed on the detritus of truth, those are, lies. Consider this poetry as an epitaph. To the disremembered victims of El Sidro. We dealt the cards of fate. We intervened to live. We pierced our stones to their hearts so cold. Darwin’s prophesy always reminds us that in every epoch there are some interventions we cannot avoid. After all, we are his favorite animal. We are gods feeding on loneliness. We are agnostic souls entangled in caves of shadows. Say, are we forever trapped in the compulsive dimensions of ourselves? In love, for example. To answer this question is the task of poetry. Let poetry be an interstice.
