Straight comradery

4/29/2012

Vision of the future
of future man
of future woman
of Walt Whitman
and of being separate
but,
in love.

To Walt
Whitman:
(and now, I can only say
ahem.)
To Walt
his very self:
I love him,
as a comrade
I love her,
as a comrade
I love all,
as comrades.

true
     painful
              love

Tears over
         him
         and
         her
and Walt Whitman's
empathetic hand on my shoulder,                                    
on your shoulder, 
the tenderness of those
bones those 
palms those
psalms 
our companions.

Brothers:
Sisters:
Comrades:
Comraderie is                                                                      
true love long abashed,
(still, the standards published are mostly abashed).
what is love without a city of orgies?
Its discriminate joy in appreciating both mind and body?
Its host of individuals forsaking a collective soul?
what is love then --
likening itself to a
disease
separating?

Oh,
it is so
beautiful,
so kept
separate,
we sep-
arate
separate,
into
in two,
we separate
in two.

Poems, Po'ms, Poems, Po'ms
where is the inspiration  for
Po'ms, for poems, for
po'ms.
Knowing now eternal separation.
Knowing now true
painful love
likening to eight feelings:


Desire,
       before it was taken, so often taken,
       to mean deserved relief.
       before it was overwhelming one and the other,
       not so carefully
       copulating, all in, unreservedly
       thinking that one-self is unsustainable
       in a pleasurable imprisonment of primordial 
       practice in-lain with
Reservation,
       cognitively dismissive and forced downward,
       egotistical, withheld in,
       that which seems incommunicable,
       daring not to expose our standards
       hitherto nonpublishable,
       waiting suppressed and subconscious,
       an intuitive faulting of the  
       incapable 
Purpose, 
       symptomatics of emotional guidance 
       reassured by notable notions of
       it is meant or it is not meant to
       be an orgasm of prodigious procreation,
       if it is meant to be it will be
       pleasure in union, dogma in duality,
       with Gods' affectionate cover-stories 
       of death, of being in the insignificant 
Labor,
      silent voices show a little
      in the activity of our hands, of our feet,
      of heads held in a certain contemplation,
      of knees bent then straight,
      backs upright then compacting and
      in the labor it takes to lift cheeks, lips, and eyelids,
      breasts, 
      in the way,
               those impassioned
                      silent but for whimpers
                      cling kisses to
               the other
                      wraps them in their arms
                      resistlessly accepting
Worry,
      other's heart suspended about the neck,
      incertitude tied to its reservoirs, gladness damned,
      standing against what should be
      a choked out voice over which rings are thrown.
      compromise? trust? fantasy? actuality?
      lines being drawn over our tender physicalities
      begetting impossible beliefs
      craving
Communicability,
     to hear everything come from the other and tear,
     the things that keep us apart
     desire, reservation, purpose, labor, worry, all out and spoken,
     spoken rashly and with impurity,
     only to hear nothing -- true painful 
     silence -- the heart still hung about 
     the vocalists' necks listening towards
     service instead of  
Compassion,
     one to the other
     feeling: the same together but   
     pressed for wholeness, fulfillment and forget-
     fulness so sorrily
     letting the other's river wash over
     bonding tears with
     "it's just that I love . . .
                         that I love . . .
                              that I love . . ."
     sacrificed  
Memories,    
      fluttering deadin reimagining, 
      they are phallic, 
      objectified by a brick by brick laying 
      repressions and then
      regressions towards missed
      satisfaction, how this or that should have
      regretful meditations of the tactile, 
      and imbalance in our chakratic 
      exchanges.

True painful love.
Tears.
           
him
            and

her

and
Walt Whitmans'

empathetic hand on my shoulder,
on your shoulder
the tenderness of those bones and those palms 
those psalms
our companions
knowing now
your love
hoping for
your love
and only love
without pain
your affection covering
everything.

What is love then?
love is eight feelings
Desire,
     excessive sexuality,
     pleasure,
     permanent, natural, abundant,
     common to everyone.
Reservation,    
     released suspensions
     we confide in
     tragic comedy
     common to everyone.
Purpose,
      attain 
      paradise 
      rights of life
      common to everyone.
Labor,
      hand
      mind
      heart
      common to everyone.
Worry,
      concern inciting
      heartfelt clarity
      premeditation 
      common to everyone.
Communicability,
     unreserved worry
     voices labor
     to fill a silence
     common to everyone.
Compassion,
     mutual 
     wholehearted
     patient joy
     common to everyone.
Memories,
     hearts
     with smiles
     progress
     common to everyone.
Vision,
        of future man
        of future woman
        of Walt Whitman
        of everyone.
