Just Here
April 15, 2018
And everything flops in – sits just here
A vibration, or collation, or a dislocated resonance
A surge disturbed distributed. Plus one and minus one,
The plus always accentuated
Nor the negative eliminated
Go tell us telltale basal force, give out your barroom banter,
To the lissom scarlet pimpernel illuminati
Say how you’re keeping all your antinomies poles apart
Love bitten in attraction one to other offering yoke
Like life in an S&M nest
And sex, who might tell what the what of sex, of
Smitten males’ and females’ common karmas,
How we do wear a difference to distraction kismet fails
To mention how to sanction
Such rage of charm and conflict
Here
Where the atom fitful wrestles its internal strifes
What happens in the atom stays within the atom’s vires
Least, fractious as the most, a turmoil foment broils
Such succour seethes
Everything packed-in vying wearing laurel wreaths
Common contentions lock; expose, amen, wrought harmonies
Sunder a mate from mate, electron from its valency
The sparks fly upwards, dissolution doing agonies
Ceased complement hand thrashes, fissions, loosed without
The intrinsic modal lore
What kind of cooking pot of crackling valours simmers nightly
Pressed pressures on every side, refer affects distempering
Sustaining on Mars and Venus likewise dusts and clarity
Wanhope keeps alongside charity -
Attendant an ancient verity
Made so to be God’s pleasure with all brief of measure
Calculated
God on his own alone forever shares his treasure making
Angels and men (and women) like a rich man builds his follies
Out of place in a landscape elsewise blended tracelessly,
Unnoticed
Partakers in his brave image, God himself resident alien
Bluff sole proprietor of space and time; a heart alone
Sufferer on our counts, is sufferer on his severed self’s
Camus’ E’tranger sits on Wenceslaus’s bounteous throne
Makes epicycles
Of all things come of nothing, tears contented vacuum apart
Its bounds no longer free, at ease, go hey, a-whoreing,
Scouting Atlantean other halves set pearls for homing
Each atom teaches grief, enlivens wise a ventured heart
