A State of Heart

So immensely fast
    Unreasonably intense
          Uncontrollably camellian
Skipping beats
Tripping
          over stone creviced corners
untamed as a wet fragrant storm
childlike in desire:
        impatient as a Tristan chord
caught in a cluster of suspensions

each beaming forth rail tracks,
 possibilities
        a path
           the path
 an organic evolution
and back to mayhem;
as opening a can of coke,
in an unrestful flurry
all entanglements rise up
fizzing till all is dry
the corpus still,
and bubbles slowly wilt
like a final leaf-fall off an autumn tree
dry
   sober
           stale
and           crunch!
