Saper Vedere (Learning to see) / by celeny gonzalez


Swayed and swooning through the jet black crowd of onlookers

she danced

heat arose

step by step to the somber tune in her heart

she played.

Pushing and expanding

a morphing of liquids materialized,

white forms of foam settle in

over a black molasses tree

 infinitely similar to,

coffee = light and sweet,

turn the spoon

settle in the sediment.

 Threatening to leave just two days before,

(luggage still in tow)

they kissed

"Melodiousness" had arrived.

Clouds merged, clocks ticked, newspaper printers clicked..

in that instant the spectator would believe to know the meaning of love.

Their songs transfer to final destinations

they delicately skipped and furiously stomped upon petals of wisteria

Sending blows of gray smoke and fairies dust over the party favors and obituaries.

Two in one:

far more intensifying and cruel than its counterpart: one in two

*eclipsed yet apart*

_---------------------------------------------------------_

 Without the knowledge of scientific terms,

How can one explain the beauty of shadows?

How does one see while looking?

To see is to experience the unseen

Is this emergence physical?

 (or)

Worlds were built

While they stared into their own images

Transfixed upon the unreal and unknown

Rooms with storage held spaces for unoccupied applicants

And all the while they watched their own

From the groin to the ground, walls were created to maintain purpose

From the chin to the chairs, everything disturbed nothing

From the ceiling to their hearts, boundaries initiated spasms of disruption

(meanwhile) 

She speaks in volumes of daggers and spears thrown from a soft place full of illusions and fears

She means no harm just a reminder of a hurt that stems from within her

from her place of birth (birthplace?)

accelerating into disappearance (age?)

 Forgive or warp her

Leave or seduce her

Love or destroy her

Just make sure you look.
