Crosses and Spans

Crosses and spans, bridges and bonds, the intents and meanings,
Objectives, purposes, sudden though unprompted, the spontaneous prods,
the goads, nudges, snaps of glares, the convolutions, intricacies, and obscurities,
combined to seize, conjured to grasp, and invoked to contradict,
the disapprovals, vanishments, even the saluting, frowns and grimaces,
glower, glare, scowls and stares, to sneer and smirk,
agility of forgotten songs, swiftness of shattered beliefs, the overwhelmed memories and dreams.

The postures and poses, carriages and manners,
sentiments, emotions, impediments, hinderances, and notions,
entangle, ensnare and entrap, evoke and extract, or dwindle and fate,
cessations and halts, pauses and clauses, the yield and motions,
obscure and eclipse, shroud and veil, and muddle and obfuscate,
the dimming sun, absences, privations, the lacks and needs, disguise and convene—
ashes, ruins and debris, are the prays of voracious winds.

Convoys, cavalcades and caravans, linger and loiter, amble or wonder,
opting to depict far out horizons, letting distant skylines, to make the longest shades,
copious, profuse, and abundant rays of light, beams of radiance,
the sheens, glitters, and glows, fascinate, captivate, and mesmerize,
if barely ensued, or, tenaciously tailored.

Riding the storms, taming the rages, the fads and fames, fighting rapacious gales,
cravings to revel, endure and impair, thirsts and passions, survive the urges,
hold on the rudder, harder to play, lashes and slams, settle throttle,
harbors to shelter, it is sea to enter, taller the waves get, jolts are to offer.

Junctures are to share, crossings to infer, infuse and imbue —
the dawn of the day, glimmers, sparkles, charismas, twinkles,
demand, plea, query; envisage the pursuits, foresee and unveil,
portend and foretell, the glory, aura, sensations to fulfill,
entail, coerce and push, impel, goad, unseal,
keep on calling you, seldom to conceal.

The sun’s envy, spite, and malice, to hurl and bruise,
coerce and impose, the retreat and absence,
no; merge, cast and rove, meld, ramble and roar,
keep, the coastal shores, aches and yearns, and merging carols,
reverberating chants, the muffled and muted minds and wits,
wrestle and conjure.

The symphony of nimbleness, adroitness, the dawns of inclinations,
or the alchemy and the core, the hub and the heart,
courage and tenderness, adjourn and defer, stigmas and agonies—
the zealots and aficionados of the dark, the dreary and dismal moments of interim,
doomed and destined by canaries’ songs, shall not stripe and ilk.

the mountains summits, peaks and pinnacles, acmes and apexes,
the echoes in the valleys, and the shadows to soothe and console,
race and run, duel and hurry, to tab the shoulders,
to smooth the paths, and adore the serene susurration sounds,
the festal, gala surrounding scenes, the ring, crew not foreseen,
the valleys’ waterfalls, rumbles and mumbles, rivulets and torrents,
to seduce the seekers, induce the braves, and tumble the fears.

the intense, penetrating, retort and riposte, the shivering searching sparrows,
shall always sing the song, shades of the valleys do adorn the ponds,
astute and acute, idle and loiter, the breeze and zephyr,
harbingers and heralds, do observe and perceive,
heritors and heirs, contest and compete.

propensity and proclivity of the inner beams, patina and luster,
the endurance and persistence of concerns and cares,
the contents, gratitude, appraisal of revealments and candors,
conceal and veil, the springs and fonts, of abhorrence and hate.
your adherence, the grace and poise, melt the hearts of unexposed.
