ZEALOUS HEART
poetry that may have been concealed, but is not
Poetry is effective when it sticks in your mind
certain phrases reoccur later on.
although you've only heard them once before;
like an intense moment when love is overpowering.
scooping up my heard,
I carefully placed it in a paper bag
and you threw it in the freezer behind the chocolate ice cream.
"flop"
says my zealous heart
for she has mourned once
and twice again.
he whispered his yellow lies and she lived to believe them.
and the moonlight is cold like your breath; it's mysterious...
don't tell me why they sent you here,
I already know.
