Tango de la Materia, No. 1

Set sail a freeforming body of poetry. We do not know where we are heading, nor do we know exactly where we've come from, and there will be no known rhyme or reason to our proceeding. Corazonamiento. The rationality of the heart. We latch to, follow, the guiding star of some deep, invisible emotion.

And so. Allow this adventure to begin in the wake of a little death. We will be studying the pre- and post- reflective experience of time in its truest form, that is, in time itself ongoing. There is no pivot, no temporal frame of reference, to consistently refer to. Already we've lost sense of any progression in our very manner of inspiration. Our procession a continual reformation. We must watch ourselves unfold with but the lightest touch, drawing from the present and reaching into the past as we venture forth into the future, the trace interim.

En garde!


Tango de la Materia, No.1

Allow it to begin in the wake
So distantly falling insane
Offshore we speak in tongues
Reaching an invisible touch
An impress on edge
The lone star a word
Is worth an infinite imagery
I cannot be real
As my reality is suicidal ideation
But I will not hide to be free
I will rather burn in
All the strange grace
Until my imagination disappears
Why must silence be so lonely?
I find it ghostly pure to think
Is not to dream is
Not to breathe nor sleep
Is not to be in (starlet vogue/
Scarlet rogue)* cannot hide the manic
Attical imposter


* ( ... / ... ) will in the ongoing course of this work indicate a moment of choice, between either of the words or phrases enclosed in the parantheses and separated by a slash. Further, it will often be the case that some correlation of the choices will be available to be drawn within the context of the poem.

Similarly, (... - ...) will indicate a moment of choice as well, though differently. In this case the choice is to be between utilizing the words enclosed in the parantheses and separated by a hyphen as either two separate words, or as one complete word. And, similarly to the above as well, it will often be the case that some correlation of the choices will be available to be drawn within the context of the poem.
