Tango de la Materia, No. 17, Epitome No. 1

Bronx hush of wisdom

Breathes heavy descending stairs

Of higher class redundancies

Pristinely emphatic judgment

The artists are critiquing the existential

Atmosphere of postmodern bliss

Incessant touch of reach to bleach

White positivism

And racially contended

Though only in soft spoken utterance

The fallen history between diverse lines

Sharing world wisdom traditions

To breach the abysmal gap

Whoring emotion

On digital recognition

And a façade of Californian sunshine

Taken with a bit of ease at least

After a long and lonely fight

Abstaining from the dilution of self

Into the Bronx river underbelly

The silent grit

Of death or retirement

Merely ghosting on the latter

In brushes of God’s family

Posh good faith

Begging to relinquish the analytical season

Effortlessly

Ineffably

Begging to make haste

In the reckless traffic seeping

Out the river’s daily chase

Come to rest synecdoche

On timely farce to face

Rationalized displacement

In the wake of bitter southern cold

The organ bellows

Beneath fiery Catolic web

Stained glass assertions

Of the desert hath been bred of poverty

Invoking faith in those hath bled

Can taste the droplets

Islamic mysticism curtails a darker poem

Satanic lettings

Of the American liturgic home

Cynic’s harkened repose to zen

The longing egotism envelope of world

I an artist

Must not pace my breath

For my thoughts as cold as stone

As heavy too

And can destroy minds

If only I let them too

Shade the fury in faithless trend

You want me to speak

This Bronx density I wake too?

No we rather huddle the sky rise enclosures

Of an intellectual Manhattan

Pop the music seeping underground

To steal our thoughts in Slavic silence

The dance of raping hawks

And some Catolic heart believes

She must entice the devil to unwind

And fake a modern woman

Elegantly devoid of faithful ties

Doth engender same in good faith relies

I can see through eyes

If only pretend their depth

Like sadomasochistic fashionista

Seductions of the gawking world

To recognize artistic beauty

Is oft destroy the soul

Alas the soul hath fallen ready

From the crucifix redress

The self a mere event

Objective analytic

A continent in distrust of the human fate

Enterprising architecture reprobate

To carry on the reason

Aloft the battles superstitious to instate

Depression mere space to mental rest

No human in the wake

For this is heavy

And the modern artist

Must lighten his expressive taste

Lest shatter minds

On the grips of concepts quite alive

In the fore seen air

What the fuck this cryptic knowledge

Fucking carelessly ensnared

Poets hang on nooses

Having slain themselves dramatic flair

Only place where anger feign sublimity

Save who’ve chosen

Not to understand those airs

They’ll mock in distant careless

And I’ll beg their mercy’s nails

To shiver all my nerves’ caress

And shake from apathy

Hath cradled me so sure

The child who will never leave you

Needs your nurture not your fools

Not your words like fallen hairs

The shavings of a mule

Stubborn on the desert howls

Its image to thy bones

Gazing vultures’ downcast eyes

Thy work a chip off nothing

Collective imitation

Quite clear artistic demise

The rebirth of childhood angels

Line the mezzanine of sky

We’ve forgotten of insanity

Boring out our lives

The artists pile everywhere

To wonder what has died

Now the global dawn has paired

Its set to its new rise

To wonder what we’ve left behind

In the ashes of our haste

That in the loss of our once mind

We’ve organized the majesty

Of Bohemian sprawling miles

We’ve divvied up the land

Organized parcels of medium

To straight lines of concept

Only worthy for an heir

We’ve relinquished all our thinking

Of expression

For the expression of a thought

Condensed in confine history

The childhood is lost

Sifting aura European nostalgia

August a city of angels

Canonizes the past

And emancipates the moment

Nude alchemy

Sparkling glass of city nights

Idealized frugal imagination

Of an artist’s starving sight

Once starving want of nurture

In the bellowing canons of divine

Now starving ideation

In the nurture of consistency

A professional loss of faith

Doth endear good faith in ours of times
