You Can Feel Them On The Wind



        Umbilical umbrellica of umbral phantanes
"Anjelsmoth Banjitreel Naievae"
These are the spasmodic words you cause in me, 
dare to ascertain in my exotic condition 
of your cusping contain

My darkroom carotodomy gastronomy 
of infrareds and lightwinds, rushing in, 
scouts of wrath seeking the four ends

As you pet pet pet care snap twang, mend 
"your pretty thing"

KarmaSupra-Natural endear- in me how spooning 
feeds bends at my thrashing and gnashing of teeth 
where your purring thickens in my auditorium, 
arouses condition,
echoes in sonar picture perfect verbatim, 
ruins in salvatore partition

Your light-wound 
Is it a seizure, a leash
Tourettes syndrome, speaking in tongues?
What is it called, may I know-
I need a name, give me your true name-
and what aim, what precision archery, 
what kind of game are you hunting?
Bondfires burning in the Valley of the Kings
Stuck Pig, squealing and turned by your spiteful 
rotisserie of baneful spit you leave to dangle 
as an apple on your lips?
Mountain Ram, braving the rocks and the heights carelessly of crash-ward depths?
Did I lock horns a moments long locked 
on a linger and caught in a snare 
of your primal mating ritual of Astuan?
Challenge your beckoning finger
talons of Vulcan Eagle to soar me to the heavens, 
how did we get here? 
Why must I be your icarus of daring -
savage amusement, knowing 
I cannot outstare the burning sun
The melting in your wax museum, 
peepshow coliseum, of the lost, you are the acost 
of my 'verted musement again and again and again

Libra is scaling taxation, purgatory perdeum owed- 
to the shades of Shangri la,
I'd say we, you and me are more than even, 
Nefertiri
Will our clashes ever die?
Our gashes ever sustain or lusts 
or take the darts from our eyes?
We a gleaming the cube and porpoising the rift 
on the lips of
evermore, Eigypsed in the swollen rains 
with chariots on fire

At the steppes of our estranged world, 
of the law, of desire

...You can feel them on the wind...

Another thought provoking write Jude...It's a provocative and challenging exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the interplay of emotions and experiences that define them. It invites readers to contemplate themes of longing, desire, and the search for meaning within the context of a world that is both familiar and strange.

Thank you, Silent One, ...what you said...plus a bat in hand and a blow to the knees as one ventures the corner to the other side of the building. (spy vs spy / eternal devils/counterparts of each other)
