ADVERSE REACTIONS

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Ricardo Antonio Garcia

What are testimonies

bound by creative discretions

bending in the weed

as two reeds

and whose composure

are in each other’s thoughts?

Symphonic Souls

we are

husband and wife diatonically tuned.

Not a wall

for darkness to try and penetrate

For the Truth

does not embellish

or create

harmful ripples

to annoy the Koi fish

of anybody’s pond.

Jealous writers try to murder us

by pulling our roots

from the bay that we reside in.

The safety

of our ghostly way is protected

by fish of all species

and as they come to our aid

the mightiest sting

of an electric eel will kill.

Shall a game of mind

or fictitious episodes contrived

be challenged by these things?

Feeling sorry

for the other doesn’t suffice

when the blood of Christ

created the Will

in mankind to better himself.

Becoming reeds-

there is not one without a testimony

and the brigades

shall never defeat the integrity

of a scribe

even with the adverse reactions …

… of God’s name.
