Carry You in My Heart

There are fragile hearts

And sacred hearts

Untethered

Some say it’s only a pump

With empty chambers

Endlessly

Thump-Thumpity-Thumping

Till it stops

 

The seat of the soul?

Of love?

 

Who knows

God knows

 

I want custom made hearts

For different occasions

(Going Thumpity-Thump)

One Teflon coated

(Only gain/no pain)

Another for raiding

Her heart shaped box

Climbing

her mount(ains)/once again

Deep-diving with terrible thoughts (In my pocket)

 

Another

to hunt/gather the ghosts

of lost loves

(pain/no gain)

Another

For breakfast with god

(the one of my

misunderstanding)

 

And one made of paper

To gather the elusive dream

 

Done
