"interstitial" poems
Lovesick and you've got the cure. Got all these symptoms. You know what for. Don't be afraid of this contagious disease, Just take my requisition form. I've made room for you in my atria and ventricle. You're the capillary to my arteriole and venule. You're the amniotic fluid to the child in my heart. I find you even in the interstitial parts. Treatment like uours is like a centrifugAl force. So be the **** stasis my heart is longing for. Some homeostasis is what we need. We will make compromises to succeed. Lay me supine and you in prone. Sensory neurons fire Exocrine glands make to pressure Spark endocrine glands to hear you moan. Without your heart I'd be anemic. Withiutbyour arms I'd be half a paraplegic. Your kisses give me air, without them I'm cyatonic. You're the fibrin in my veins, to my pain an anesthetic. I'm ready for some long-term care and affection. Got a chronic condition that needs your attention. I k now I'm concluded, parts of me sclerosed. Don't wait post mortem to know that you're the most.

Asylum
The tiger is here to eat us, our Life, and finish dessert with a Pi. Let's vote. All in favor of running, run. All those in favor of stillness, run. The maai is closed. Interstitial space allows only muscle memory moments trained through countless centuries of bipedal scattering, synchronized patterns designed to confuse a striped predator. We move unsure of threat yet left, running.

The moon is full tonight. I can feel it's pull. The cat stares at me. Her eyes seem to suggest she knows what is on my mind. As I gaze up into the mysterious sky, The familiar taste of salt trickles into the corners of my lips. I can feel a tug of my emotions, Like the moon somehow has a role in the pull of my interstitial fluid. It is basically sea water, Right? The black cat loiters a certain superstition within. Fear becomes instilled as she stares into my soul with her all knowing glare. "Blame it on the moon, blame it on the moon. Tides come and go, so this shall too" I strive to find the comfort this world has to offer me Some say it comes from within, this I am not sure of. The thoughts linger. The cat knows, I know she knows. What does she make of me in this incapacitated state? I taste the salt. It is drawn out by the moon. That is what I tell myself. Deep down I know the salt is due to the overwhelming grief I try to deny. And the cat is merely the internalized self stigma eating away at my self esteem and efficacy.

Moon drawn tear
Pertinaciously vituperative irrefragable determinism.  Inscrutable axis of spontaneities’ imaginative.  Perplexity’s prognosis to prospectus.  Elan vital’s preternatural perpetuity.  Cohesive coherency’s opaque opulence.  Space-time continuum’s natural induction expressed as identity.  Exponentially tangential imagination’s immaturity.  Entropy catalyst blonds.  Spaciotemporal telemetry tactician’s tellurian terrene.  Protractive analyses dimensional delineation.  Reflectively refractive positional empathy.  Prophylaxis protocol.  Objectified manifest's self inductive diminutive minutia iotas of interstitial edict.  Graspy greedy stingy frugal mingy minions.  Manumission’s indentured servant sail.

Tennessee Williams, once said, “The world is violent and mercurial—it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love—love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.” <> how succinct, successful a summary do we require, nary a word excess, only love comes at ya slap-dash- across-the-face, to make the point its presence in everything and every human touch point juncture, is a conjunction,, be a writer, even when muses en masse desertion seems overwhelming, query with love this conundrum and fill the open yet tiny interstitial space with a soup of creamy hope, inspiration is ever, never late, for it runs on its own schedule, which is forever unpublished and happily irritating us when we least expect its timely birthing… wet the eyes, remove the shadowy slumber residue, with vigorous water splashes, flying drops everywhere- is that not a poetic command? rinse the mouth of the failed taste of insufficient sleep, or the countervailing dry excess of too much, when we hide from the challenge of game on, and the liquid sloppy of the premier day~light~enunciation… give birth to conjunctions, attach the independent, linking the minuscule to the primary, and write of it as if you were the first, indeed, you are this moments first… to exit the permanently burning building…you must run to it, enter willingly and save it and by dousing yourself with *love, save more than just thyself*…

happened upon an extravaganza of spring’s hallmark, the cherry blossoms outing their munificence of color, I happened to position myself direct below a tree, the thicket of blossoms so, well, thick, that sky was obliterated ‘cept for pointillistic spots of blue sun, yellow sky that poked through the few de minimus interstitial spaces permitted, and was struck silent, by-for-before shimmering eyes that uttered the requisite oohs and ahhs, and words came to me weeks later, when the memory, now fully decanted, reappears courtesy of a giant tech company’s code tinkering, merging and splurging the combined images in the photographic memory of my devices, as if to say: your life is points of light and color and scent as you write now amidst the hubbub of jackhammers, raucous horns a blaring, the homeless screaming on the street at god, the fatalistic headlines of hate and the pallor of a low level haze of perp~gray between you and your true elfin self, and you are not surprised, but sadly, but not entirely, bemused that the photo’s true utility was to remind weeks later that all that my eyes utter is not just woe, double trouble and toil, toil, *but to Hey Jude and George, step out and see the park on a Sunday in its entirety and to glory in your being by being a point in that tapestry spectacular of ingestion, digestion and final comprehension and a happy* exhalation

Interstitial Intimacy
Inside the café I look out on to the small portion of the city grid that unfolds before my eyes: Beyond the softness of my translucent reflection on the window pane Towards the sea of black coats, umbrellas and moving shapes that grace the landscape. Another person, Another life: Another unread novel rotting on the shelf Passed over by all who would read it; Passed by on the city street. Can you feel the rain between us As you move on Pretending not to see the face that stares past my prints Shining off the window after these longing fingers pull away? I have seen it in your face when look down or straight ahead And pass by the others in your bubble as if living in your own dream: Merely a distant gaze, You face the throng, Face desire Face the unconscious need that drives the surrounding movement forward Towards the discovery of its own emptiness that renews its search and its longing. You do not share this longing: Dwelling in this space between the others Content to be carried along by the forces beyond your control How I wish your calmness would infect the world around you So as to part this ocean of desirous chaos That I might walk to you Look you in the eyes And smile…

the fabric of reality rests on the idea that everything is nothing and nothing is what I've been yearning for interstellar or interstitial irregular and irradiant never too late always significant sometimes terrifying just say yes Process and Purge a radical transformation is upon us open your Heart and your Mind will follow one day this body will be a corpse and that doesn't frighten me in the slightest ordinary anxieties lose their authority and I am Alive at last

Grow, grow, growing grow Taller, wider, deeper, steeper Topsoil cracking Foundations creaking Interstitial water leaking Gases pluming Sun too hot Birds forgetting how to fly Flies all set to multiply Central heating turned up high Fish recumbent on the sands Hail brave campaigning elephants Who rampage through the concrete jungle eviscerating 4WDs with tusks awry trunks outstretched eyes akimbo Vanguard of a worldwide army of feather scale and bone all stitched up By might is right into a threadbare tapestry of deprivation Today we spread, we glow, we grow In rampaging delight we gag on feather, bone and scale We suffocate ourselves Tomorrow The earth will fry And so might I Is this the way to end our poem © Diana Korchien 2012

God Bless Our Appetite
It was raining and it was morning. They sat in the car underneath a tree, upon a hill, overlooking the vast cemetery below.  Clichès still have the potential to be beautiful, they know. Intellectual awareness allows for understood symbolism, the death of that which dies at a cemetery, the emotional downpour demarcated by rain, the interstitial distance of looking forward and down. Silence and language working symbiotically as a stratagem to both hide and reveal vulnerability.  The clichè of their location works with the conversation. He is sad. She knows. She knows the emotional location he lives within, she purposefully disregarded his eyes, those eyes that have always stared at her from the mirror, her eyes. The eyes of those with hollow love for themselves. The selfishness of selflessness, the facticity of unfortunate neurological tendencies, the self-imposed limitations. They speak. He speaks. She hears him speak, she who is devoid of empathy, she reaches empathy through his words, she hears the thesis of her own thoughts, she cries. She cries because he narrates her perception of herself, through narrating his perception of himself, and she knows the meaning of it. He cries because it is his. He looks away. He says I don't want you to know the things about me. The things that are disgusting. She loves those things. It's not enough. She knows. She talks to herself, she talks to him. She takes his hand, they cling to the ephemeral union. It stops raining. They walk into the chapel, the ashes of those who lived resting upon glass bookshelves, behind glass cases. They sit upon a couch in silence. They collapse, against each other. Two women observe the marble of the mausoleum. They arise. The women are startled. The women didn't see them sitting; they were three feet away. He takes her home. They fade into wordlessness during the drive. They look at each other with desperation at a stop sign. She says goodbye. She walks away. They walk away.

not that the ness is gone she's found herself carrying a burden of pure boredom. the dusk falls and she all but grimaces at it, rips out more hair, waits for the sun to **** her new skin, she is ********* she is the unbearable weight of standing still while falling. her eyes are not blind, but she keeps them shut in fear that one day they will be. she is years of sixteen, of sundays. her hair is dark but it reflects every light she passes. she will keep pounding this pencil, examining her fate, shifting blocks around in hopes of forming a circle. the only thing enough for her lies on the other side of the canyon, where interstitial a great danger looms. she has been falling falling falling forever, and one cannot help but wonder when her dear havoc will end.

"I will create as I speak." <> these profound and most serious of words, vibrate within my chest (really!) as I tongue test them, having just awoken and a Sabbath ~Saturday looms before me, naked and full of potential.

Dai! this single syllable Hebrew word for “enough,” issued in one breath, like “the end!” hits me with a slap of sensibility as a closing lid on this just about to possibly boil *** of emotions and internal combustion.* two last thoughts burr me mind before signing off: the contradictory nature of the blanket of an unscripted openness of a day ahead, and the totality of its fulsome satisfaction it offers, do not confuse me. no scholar I, it occurs that the word Dai, unlike any other, has a root unknown to me, but internet of godlike humans had anticipated my query and offers me irony and reassurance that I am so not the first to wonder and know this satisfying confliction of this two headed Hydra send-story, sensatory, balanced imbalance for the root of this common word used daily to say: “enough,” “stop,” or “that's sufficient.” comes from the root is DaWaH דוה which literally means “to flow or extend outward.” and though I created this poem as I spoke, I only reiterate what my ancestors already knew thousands of years ago! by the bye, the Hebrew phrase "I will create as I speak,” is well and better  known to you as: Abracadabra.

Who we are not, weathers through time be it by water, wind, will or wine. Gazing into the talus of our becoming Amidst the course, drifts the fine. Our purpose is to bear the breeze With lips to cup, till weakened knees Besotted within a life between Pre-eternal, post eternity. Thirsting through our body’s gristle flows the milk beneath the thistle you, true content sans container Are pulsing spirit, interstitial.

What is not, reveals what is
Reading between between the lines, the shadow zone of interstitial spaces, the quiet and rhythm separating sentences, I senced that your yesterday's day was one, that given a choice, you would not choose to repeat. I repeat this feeling guilty that I failed you by knowingly remaining silent.

Interstitial spaces
Oh, weep for Adonais—he's undead!     And hath been, lo! these interstitial years! Yellow and black and pale and hectic red,     His cockney mood consumptively careers. Upon a bubbling Hippocrene he's drunk     And dreaming, standing tiptoe on the brink Of the wide world that sinks (Byron's a punk)     As love and fame to nothingness do sink. An anguished autumn wind doth howl a HOWL     Of abject grief that sweeps the graveyard's stones. The creeping moon observes the downy owl     That eats a mouse from tail to skull and bones. Zombie Allan Poe, who's green and obscene, Is sobbing, "Happy Birthday Halloween!"

Sonnet On John Keats' Birthday
got caught in this small, fine-crafted world: with half-moon indents below flittering eyelids, with new rotation about iris, embers under cloud sprawl, bloodshot from later on in the night. with reveries hung out, with sharp fog covering the evening: i misplaced most sensibilities, i clambered down from this ridgeline, hope, for god knows whatever reason. i stood still, continually incapable of translation, scrambling for word-count, the inside of my chest. with new broken bones, some impossible heaviness, some insurmountable hopelessness: soft poison, self-administrated; i'll still climb back up, though, given any fractional semblance of luck. we've all been burnt, yeah, but if you'd take this half-exhausted charcoal splintering heart in flax-woven basket up, i will do my best, to nurture your own back to meadowlark wings your breath takes flight upon, in interstitial moments, as your quiet lips turn to smile& glow.

Asylum
Let water fall forlorn down, cascade sorrowful past perpetual loss sourced from wellsprings that saturate pinnate lines and sustain interstitial spaces of silent missensed mourning. Let sensate streams buoy and suffuse afresh to rise fertile, fecund, fulfilled. Now wash the withered and woeful past away.​
