[YES,]
âWe Belong Together
an Angello Fabrication
Yes, weâll erect a temple over the noun-heart & tendril, & yes, concrete fact is impossible, an enigma, for this flesh-making exists between seeing, & yes, we grow light like a pair of birds opening beak to feed from beak, & yes, we crawl forward like a caterpillar caressing the handâs rind curve, & yes, solemn is the word that lives, obscurity as blessed, in the dust, our earth, our yes to yes all our pierced disregards.

Dear Ritchie,
Growing older has its perks, but the warped records of my spinal collection are less MBV & more Merzbow, but at forty-four, weâve learned to love how we love our distortions, the pain needles piercing as quiet lightning w/o rain, & yes, Textual-Me knows Movie-You loves this kind of overdrive, as in La Bamba, when you auditioned in the garage, & Los Lobos-You sang out of Movie-Youâs mouth, & it was all Saturday night on Tuesday afternoon, like heaven on earth, time collapsing, the sound like silver resonances refracted, chalice chiming as if each were their own glittering surfacing endless self-reflections, nearly cliché funhouse-mirror trope, but there, with you, we werenât scared, no, as one vibration to another, it was home, a shimmer glide, &, Ritchie, weâve agreed, no matter how scratched our vinyl, as long as I can hear you, Iâll keep tracing shapes in the popcorn ceiling when itâs too painful to stand
(a porcelain milkmaid; a marble-carved St. Francis withered beside a gaunt lion; porcelain Siamese cats: one smiling, one frowning; glass lamps with irises in amber overlay, bats in deep amethyst; meadows of grapes, wheat & fruits; dogs & stilted unicorns wandering valleys of snow; a peach-blown Cupid sharpening his glass arrow against a rotating grindstone).
