Heartbeat too relentless
January 1, 2009
still trying to still
still trying to still
the murderous heart
now folded back between
its boney wings
admiring sirens
and enamored of disaster
it can’t be cured of
wanting to quicken
quicken quicken
quack quack
every vein
now I’m trying to end it
pace being too fast
and heartbeat too relentless
