Acorn

Be close, my dear-- lest our love
becomes ruined by metropolis sufferings.
oh! Lilies, and
violets of two-toned fields!
and one in seventeen-
and desiring a twin, but needing variance
from a single multitude, held close, and O! As the one in the similar city!
Noticing, what correlations between unrelated objects hold,
like a pair of doves, and the leaves beneath our boots;
or even! Wildflowers falling from our hair!
Inside a yellowed albatross
in a jungled forest town
and a professor in a dulled shirt
and a treehouse overlooking the rustling bay
even--- to be dissipated
tomorrow, to be sad
and grey arched troubles
of harmonic gauges and

the freckled eyes
of an entire army
marching towards the sun
and eyes beaming into carbon particles
begging to be seen
by their stargazing lovers.

and bells tied to our ankles,
shivers make them
clash wildly into each other
demanding birds
to arise from their enwintred slumber,
under crumbled summer
weeds and frozen
bulbs of forever-flowers,

portals for our eyelids
and
tea leaves
held in our apron we saw-
a sparkling of light pink roses
from our knitted purses,
O, to be alive and wildly tumultuous!

telma

i am always shaky in the dusty mornings
when lighter-than feather thoughts
awake from their shuttering cocoons
and the sun sits next to me, in my fisted but delicate hands

whispering violet'd but opaque desires
through a coffee filter,
"i have become slower,
i have become at peace,
i have become a lover, but yet,"
and red bursts from beside my head!
o, and granules of sparkling water
are present still, in my almost-sister's weathered boots

like suns shining, we are!
her treasure walked through the painter door
hands morphed inside constellations,
draped above the slow breath she leaves,
a mobile in the night, and silenced waterbodies, held by plants.

had we held her as a child, (do not falter now)
maybe a painter would have emerged from her cracking bones
maybe a wonder would have appeared on the corner of madison
well, try to change my nested qualities
you will not, you will not, you will not
a drawing, lost in a sea of leaves
and even spherical candles cannot whisk you into a life undeserved

We are walking to a meadow
a little girl slept there
while her thoughts ran free
and wildflowers stained the seam of her dress

Shivering
under blankets
in the morning, and at dawn
black, just black, I noticed
in the core of
some differing notation
"I can be near, I can," but yet!
A movement under ninth,
a drab harmonium,
or a dreaming among wolves?
Through sketched maps of a future colony
I saw
hands enwintered,
or ruins raised up,
or braids disassembled
all while drinking tea in the meadow,
which we knew
would grow and become a garden.

"Yes, and even serrated misanthropes sleep in the dungeons of their darknesses,"

daybook

in a stuffed catalogue
we are three, astropomorphic
and greatest limericks bursting
through raspberry groves, where
i had (so violently, inside) left
the painted door cracked open
an invitation, into
a paralleled kingdom, but lips
were shivering under riverbeds
of drowned fragments
that had fallen from our lips!
and Yet!
Restored gradients, from metallic streams
but where had the dissimilar misogyny come from?

"Bring me back to castles with wildflowers, sun blazing through the fields"
in a gust of wind,
seventeen stories were told with a blustering talent
where whispers (purpled words from the land of vipers_
told rumors of the most specific things coming alive,
for instance, the tiniest of insects who were dragging
mammals from their graves,
or the formation of opaque galaxies, fed to hexagon-bellies
that we, as sorcerers could, perhaps,
hold between our blistered hands, where desired diamonds multiplied,
and a furthest beat in a stormheart of thunder bellowed
from the depths of a martian's thought
where little bumblebees
fluttered their archipelagoed glittering wings
into a quicksand of trainparts,
and blots of skin cancer
moved through hedges of boulders
to get to parisian hearts
in darknesses bound for precision-markings
on their foreheads
but yet, a still, faint familiarity!
scarred pools of blackened cauldronwaters,
some brisk memorial for a single fish-noire,
one dimly scattered Asian country, from forward flashing dreaming
to a waterfall edging on the horizoned babies' connection to the mystified whirlwinds of slumbered trigons
and furthest twisting of ropes into tireswings for sons of seven arks.
besides,
all is completely, unashamedly destined to arise as quixotic tracheas map out
air follicles and demeaning scratches on the ships lodged into clouds,
to stagger and become a solitary entity!

inside an editorial
and trapped
between unfamiliar lavender sheets
a lion, perched on a pew between us
leaned on her,
a video, playing above our heads,
showed us tiny whispered orgasms
disconnected from us, but two in the same
and before, a church, to fast forward so lights can flicker
like stars eventually bound for darkness

just as a thousand bells rung
outside,
how, how would i still not be thrust
a gift of love?

3452.35/4771.69

felt an urgency
beneath our skin to reconnect
and feathers
blew in the wind, to upstate georgia
where mountains were thrust from their foundations
into a sea beneath the largest glacier on Venus
"forget a humbled existence, and be cast into seascapes,"
she said, but
everyone,
including i,
was unaware of your arrival and i began to feel
that same urgency to check letters off,
pound on buttons,
release it into airwaves,
just to see your face after months!
just to spin in circles beside the Hudson!
just to, O God,
be the most glad being, and bones shivering from the love felt
from miles between, O God!
a celebratory unison
to a shared ocean, to an hour away, to, O! a gladness felt: in artistry.

we shiver under quiet depths
with hues of azure and iron
some yellowed silence
and an infant, a demeaning death
where we had fallen into a
wandering earth, or hell
so far gone,
in a scarred atmosphere/unknown
but yet, a protection.

some gliding movement
of towers,
two by two,
and softest fabric, spun between our fingers,
as the cradle of a child
loses its balance and vanishes,
so we are left to flicker into non-existence,
or-- total existence,
whichever is more fitting
to our deep, deep selfishly inclusive souls.

forgive us of our innate curiosities,
of a joyous monument,
of a forest, annotated-
and even as the harp's strings
melt into glass,
our hands play on;
a tortuous morning
to a greatest age.

some strange crimson marketplace,
a cosmic ballet-
yesterday's silencing heartbeat
morphed into a graveyard of the apex of steeples
where a single pulsing
under a crevice of fabricated directions, written on the tips of fingers
promised an eternal deliverance to the rings
that surround our quiet sphere
of still moving awakening,
a life,
beckoning to be found
lodged under
a darkness in ancient libraries,
an unresponsive brother,
or the glittering snowtides of the atlantic in february;
now be not afraid, little bee,
for a restoration seeps between your pores
and a lullaby
sung in several languages, simultaneously
will soothe a disquieted mind, as the giant
above our heads
steals momentous blocks of stone from our atmosphere
he sits, but holds tight
to sliced objects which could have possibly
created our interior to be
a deafening demonic force, to which it was originally hoped to be
before a fire,
before a fire fell.
