shadow of a bird
cast over my heart
and I knew it could steal it
and never drop me
shadow of a bird
cast over my heart
and I knew it could steal it
and never drop me
my heart
gulps him in
swallowing deep
in the rain
hair soaked
and flattened
against my face
flame and water
steams my heart
bouncing lights
violet inflection
careful of my heart
dear love
I’ve been hurt
I’m split
vertically open
splash thud
my heart
at your feet
spider’s
patterned web
around my heart
holding me
loved and kept
flutter
blink
woman burning
fire speak
through my heart
I drink
his mercy
my heart is electric
medicine
drips from it
heart splashes color
from my center to his middle
valiant, frantic dance
stars break night
i went back to the
a-frame
supporting my heart
and trashed the rest
standing between me
and feeling myself
cleaning house
