Heart’s small voice sings
we

this
yes!
Heart wears itself on its own sleeve; it
delights in slippery mud and fallen petals.
It kisses Head’s myriad gray pleats and
great, furrowed brow. Head mutters: you
time-waster, mooner, you singer who can’t
reach high c; mistake-maker, incontinent
bleeder; giver of gifts you cannot
afford; blissed-out, undiscriminating,
lacerated fool
Yes! sings heart
