There, within the fertile soil
lies my beating heart
Beaten, not broken, it toils
Shinzou
Hear the sounds of life
this breathing metronome holds
dreams, love, secrets… mine!
i mean….
you are red
and pump
my blood
through my bod.
My poor troubled heart
you work hard that i might eat
ice cream every day
organ made of blood
elastic dreams and tissue
not the Kleenex kind
