DRAFTS OF A MENTAL POET DREAMING CLOUDS

So, feeling awake then a falcon of
emotions

                   *
        As feathers grasping mid-air
 believe me believe don’t believe
how you forget secretive lips bleeding
:  as even animals betray what they
can be — Gabriel screams:  god made you
heavy and we carried

                   *
   HOW LONG this human contrived
a dissembled love of chilled heart
true, thus feelings here on earth
apprehending for, oh, what mystified
feelings — I FEEL cool walking upon
a cloud — apprehending beautiful
face OH misty New Orleans cobbled
streets in 1899/
                   *
that joy mutually comprehended
and raised our love within
the incomprehensible 2020’s.

   how i had to tell you how i feel
as time flees / told you once \
provisional feelings encompassed
 the surmised beyond.
