"constituting" poems
What little sunshine being recognised Out of a storm flames approaching disorder Building vast contradictions without impediment Widespread in antiquity with alluring interpretations Constituting mutilated transformations whose opposing Lies stinking and fly swarmed, rotting at our feet

Constitution Solution - Short Double Quantum
Since I've loved you dear, Brain underwent change, To a sentimental piece of junk, With two halves constituting it, All brains have two 1/2s, And my brain is strange. There's nothing right in the left half of my brain, And there's nothing left in the right half of my brain, Yes, ever since me having loved you my lovely dear.

Our little collegetown is a jungle tonight, with the deafening, staticky drone of locusts constituting its own kind of warm gravity, sidewalks drenched and carpeted with a rotting mess of blood-red maple leaves, and thousands of spiders the size of human eyes, glaring down from the dead-center of their backlit, dew-drizzled webs. I always thought that I'd never be loved enough. In crafting anthologies on the angles of my favorite noses, I pretended I didn't want someone else’s protractor on my own, and prepared for a life sentence as the uncharted geometer, the invisible painter, the secret poet, the immortalizer, rather than the immortalized. I find myself, now, to be a poem–– your poem–– etched into the curvature of your jungle-green eyes. But walking home in our jungle tonight, I feel sick. Your ears distort my hesitant laughter into a dissonant, deafening euphoria, and when I lay my head on your heated chest, I can feel the blood gushing underneath your skin, surging through your veins, storming, drowning you, and I feel sick because all this love you pump for me-- all this love you are drowning in-- only rots in my guilty stomach... When my memory is watching me with her thousands of glaring eyes, she will always mourn the breaking of a beautiful heart.

Morning: My taken place at the faucet, a peer Staring into eyes, not sworn to me And I was standing, looking in the mirror Speaking as my reflection Spoke back to me. I was shocked when he took my hand Starting speaking about identity I was shocked he knew so much More of me Than I. He talked about my too-long hair Or how good I looked in green Or how messy my morning face could be Or whether I was feeling smart or lean. He knew it all: I’d go so far to say more of me than I. Evening: Look to the east! A sun set —Bravo! At least consistent and THEN gone. Me? I’ve no such liberty I couldn’t even tell, bereft a mirror, The thing I like to call me. Walking the roads, lined with lights Bustling, living, Lined with sights Constituting the parts of me, invisible —Added to nothing, they’re indivisible Closed, exposed, fall and drizzle Without the gall keep hold From doors and boughs In the windows—I’m there now And THEN I’m gone. Night: The stone church’s door where The righteous moor their souls Piety flows In its golden veins And I’m there no more. Their God does hate me Without presence in the Pews; I’m dross Since the saint I chose Was Saint Me beatified Confirmed from the sinner Laity Goss —So I turn To the school affording play in my words And a tact therefore But rejects All but their templates in blue shoes Who sleight my for company Only when within them Or drowning in ***** —So I turn To the wilderness Blooming in virginal grapes Disrobed save the skin Unfamiliar, Self-aware but only on a whim And whirlwinds that blow Ice and shrapnel and Exile me to the country Where not but dearth may grow In a single season of mine —So I turn Too afraid of that winter So much more the fall And me in the mirror Knows it all, knows it plenty A casual drop in a casual chat About identity —So I turn Back to the mirror Back to it all With showers and pictures in its wall Staring into eyes, sworn not to me Speaking as my reflection Speaks back to me I was not shocked he knew so much More of me than I, Since he strides alongside mine And only in a certain climb Telling me It’s almost time, I’m almost there But it’s not clear in which direction, Or where.

It was hard to forget her Especially on overcast days. The spots we stood, eavesdropping in the clouds where she came the hardest. The quiver sent through her spine constituting the lightening that left her paralyzed. She stood electrified, curious of where we would strike next. All I wanted was to be needed. Soaked in the rain that poured In between sounds of thunder. Her moan was the loudest. In the pursuit of true happiness I stood in her storm. Pacing back and forth becoming the lightening rod causing her to strike. With gusts up to about 120 mph she came without haste. A bolt of lightening, devoured by swollen space. As strong and as fast as she came she was fragile. Collapsing soon as she struck. Dissipating into the belief that she was to disappear without a trace. Thunder pierced through the sky. Bellowing her return. The crackle of her moan replied, wrapping around complete space. Resting her head for moments longer. Changing the way she saw herself

The shattered world vanishes beneath thee, the emptiness, now pervading within me. I see what was once there before, now ceasing to be there at all. What I once called, my life and my family, the cornerstones of my very identity, turning into dust, a part of my memory. Even this, ceases to be, what was "forever", now just a "could be" time erodes all that I deem, important to no one, except me. Yet this breaking, deconstruction of worlds, changes my perception, for good or for ill, into something beyond, becoming adjourned, into a part of something, new it may be. My ideas begin to break, my thoughts begin to shatter. What was important, now doesn't even matter. I recall a time, things were important to me, now no different than the dust beneath me. I then pay attention, to what is void and apparent. The unchanging past, and the future in development. I see what was broken, will be made anew, and that there is nothing that won't be so. Breaking my mind, breaking my soul, breaking the heart that tears me so. Overwhelming the part constituting this "me", what then dies, is now reborn to see. Of a time once past, of a future yet to be. Of a wholly new perspective, rich as can be. Our lives are such, a deconstruction of the past, to make a better future, for every one of us.

Breaking
I wish I wish I knew the old just like the new Helping me mark the difference in colors Of a painted disaster Because the incomplete sketches Spread across time make me Dream I dream of falling off the edge Knowing it will only lead to Madness And madness is remedy For sanity is Lethal Lethal is monotony Gradually crumbling into Ordinary Ordinary is choosing to look away From the display of Sparkle Sparkle moulding up souls of the illimitable Walking on the other side of Fear Fear shies in the face of the limitless, What a thing it is to Embrace Embracing the uneasy comfort Constituting your Favorite Paradox Of whose absence makes you love But presence makes you hate Everything Everything is an illusion And you’re constantly creating your own Infinities.

The wind lifts you up the waves are your angry face calmness is your supple beauty the tide is your love for the earth because in your blood every drop of it comes from the rivers on the land the breadth of your mind makes you immeasurably wise and sophisticated your underwater world nourishing all lives constituting a huge natural ecosystem the world is gorgeous and colorful because of you you don't change your character your passion your glamor your vision never you believe that life is always wonderful and a sincere life is your feelings that come from afar.

He nurses his coffee, by himself most days, Occasionally with the one or two others Constituting the bulk of the clientele of the diner (Low-slung building both faceless and nameless Although those who remember a day When the village was at least borderline prosperous Still refer to it as “Kitty’s Place”, Though its namesake has been dead and gone some two decades) One of the few going concerns which implausibly remain, Seemingly through nothing more than sheer inertia, In the drab little downtown along Canton Street. He languishes over his cup for as long as the mood hits him, There being no discernible reason to hurry (Indeed, the diner itself, once open before sunrise Now dark and silent until a leisurely seven-thirty or so) His place not really a working farm these days, Just a smattering of beef cattle (Milking and stripping out more than he can manage now) And what acreage of corn he can get in the ground. Eventually, he totters out of the front door, One sleeve of his shirt rolled and pinned up (Its former occupying member removed After the incident with the ancient and malevolent corn binder), Moving toward his truck with an all-but-one-legged gait, His left-leg jigsaw-puzzled By an overturned Farmall some time back (Most days he reckoned he’d tipped the tractor By failing to shift his balance to accommodate driving one-armed, Though if he was in a black enough mood he’d put it down To an old Iroquois curse placed on the entire St. Lawrence valley.) One could say, if he was a poet Or some other **** philosophical fool, That these partial sacrifices served To ward off some even more awful finality. He would have none of that, of course—in his own cosmology The gods and demons most likely have bigger fish to fry, And, as to the prospect of some inexorable wreck and ruin, He is of the opinion that what he was given up to this point Is both ample and sufficient.

(this written about a baker's half-dozen years ago) this then stunning lithe oldest teenage niece, daughter of my younger sister epitomizes a tall drink of water (similar to the mother at same age) What with her willowy young woman body brimming with budding potential for breath-taking beauty enhanced by her quiet mien expressing itself thru exemplary artistic and literary flair if asked to draw a character sketch anime or wax poetic she would demure modesty restrains her acknowledging creative talents so I thought to compose an ode in praise of this quiet-natured adolescent teetering on the brink of adulthood (now a glowingly radiant young woman) evolving positive qualities via submittable, the strength of said niece whose ambitious parents (my youngest sister = the proud mama of Ansley), who embarked to Spain late summer (many Earth Orbitz back in time found them bound for the Iberian peninsula this brother suppresses envy adventurous bold risk-taking exposing offspring to world wide web of Europe fostering cultural awareness represents continuity for I remember this youngest sibling of mine as gently conniving plus possessing pluperfect courage to act on her je nais sais qua esprit de corps as like an inner divining rod and faith in self-enabling an exemplary example of motherhood constituting both this and Marleigh (the second of deux whip-smart darlings) with the world at their fingertips as hands-on learning all the while insinuating courage to take life by the red bull by the horns!

- That line in the distance which defines the boundary between the Heavens and the Earth is not even a line– actually it is an arc, so i have fooled myself already. I imagine this as a border constituting what i can and cannot reach with all the lofty fixtures of space high above and the rocks below— my endurance erodes between them. I admit to having grown fond of the certainty this divide represents because it renders the scope of my options unambiguous. Still, i fancy some rungs– a way to step up so i can place hopes just above that threshold, but having attempted to measure the height of "Jacob's Ladder", i realize success could mean my condemnation to a hopelessness below... s jones 2021 .

The Celestial Divide
Tonight I looked into An overdue doubt Of mythic proportions So come check it out Of this federal system Reserving its heist For the terrified hostages' Crisis zeitgeist These zodiac killers Who keep turning pages In all of these doctrines Is one for the ages Immaculate in It's deception conceptions Omnipotent forces Controlling elections And rigging the game For the bishops and crooks To build their empires On stacks of these books Which sell like hot cakes   They claimed were the towers Of ivory patriots Sharing their powers When really the lies Are as old as the story Enslaving the masses Since gold, god, and glory First hungered for many A few white horse christians Waging their wars Through apocalypse fictions Then spreading the plagues With addictive distractions Dividing the factions With taxing subtractions And billing our rights Constituting their claim Must govern the people In image and name In his kingdom of fear No home for the brave When freedom is buried In salvation's grave Dug for the masses And martyr's who bled From the hole fatal truth In the back of their head

Zeitgeist
Where's he come up with his lyrical content Where the hell does he come up with the song's concept Does he strain his brain Bringing up the past pain Or hang on a moment in the heart Of a situation And I can't stop this invasion They take the words right out of my mouth How can I stop when I'm addicted to this I can't just call it quits Especially when you've got a flow like this And some people call me the kiss of death Some people just don't see the visual effect And then when the storm surpasses And they realize we gotta rely on each other to make all this work And a lot of people don't even understand the words And I don't mean understand What the words mean But what the songs I write are referencing And I get it, it gets a little confusing When something that runs through your mind keeps constituting What makes you think about being so blinded to the situation But you know you can make it There all seeing what your starting to say and I'd give my life Before I lose out on living and breathing the freedom To say what I mean Because I mean what I say Do you follow Do you understand me ©2017 Written By Benji James

Understand Me
Mellow is the sweet singing of the sparrow, To the fellow sitting on a tree trunk, Sobbing himself 'til he's full and blind. His creed is speaking, ready for taking. Ready to make the skies green with storm, Jilted with scorn his prayers must be, To compose such cruelty. We let ourselves entertain our hopes. Yet he will not listen. So instead we hope the sparrow's notes, Glisten with his blood, Glisten. And the tears are dripping, Ripping through the crowds. We never saw the circle, Constituting to our hate. So we were ate up by clouds, And avenging crows, And millions of divine foes, Yet defensive we became, In the cycle of hate! Mellow is the sweet singing of the sparrow, O'er flowers growing from hearts long rotten.

Deaf Ears
I wrote a letter with an tremendous amount of emotion Going back constituting the top of I's with little tiny hearts Throughly proof reading the lighthearted gesture Don't take to serious the tone I used Consider it A philosophy of the heart It's intense ego To get this point across Though outrageously verbal Choosing to live for now, contrasting to the future of reply Tucked in an envelope Optimistic in it's view of being open A chronicle of sorts, envelope following envelope An incarnation of my heart being sent in letter form Count each word as a single throb of thought practical words coming from a mouth that cannot speak Only moral that I would send it's words in practical selfishness This need wrote in ink A sort of food that longs for the companionship of purpose A need to speak and be heard A need of touch, to feel this effort that somethings happening An extension to the abstract heart that throbs in latitude the height of it's dreams So forth sealed in darkness Awaiting the conference of your eye

Lost In The Dark
The remnants of yesterday's closure Either creates tomorrow Or destroys the future Divided by variances too shallow Yet united against the walls The vague resolutions that regress Constituting for the insistent calls Are today's mend-in-progress That whatsoever made no progress.
