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!
