Self Defense

With all love rejected,
Detached from movement,
Resistance by the trembling,
Is measured and used.
And as the gentle pine for grace
They watch the furious rages pause afraid,
Struck dumb at no possibility, at pure purpose.

And spent, she saves her grief for dreams.
Of diving through thick ice
To flow to warm clear depths
Of the river sounds outside at night
While close and touching love in bed
Of daughters or sons grasping for eternity.

And twilight moments of longing
Begin each irritating day
Pressing out in vengeful snips
Toward victims clinging to blue’s fables.
The false shades luring the weak,
The one in five who've drowned.

Until all hues are faded, I would have it so.
Until our dreams are realized and what we do not know.

Thinking about the imaginative processes of moral judgments:
ideological systems (circumstance, history,) the illusion of some, or most, of our will, and the degree of determinism involved. If any, or all processes are completely unconscious and what we construct about them are simply attempts of articulation. The beauty from an engineering point of view of all these working together in different ways for each different person becomes apparent. Knowing when to attack the status quo for progress is not so easy? Then again it could be just our nature to know.

I tried to write a poem that : “exercises the very imaginative capacities necessary for making sensitive moral judgments.” Heh… this is what came out. Didn’t want to spend too much time on this one and rather slipped back into old writing habits.

Inspired by a movie called 'White Oleander' [link]

With Michelle Pfeiffer.. horribly relevant movie I think.
