heart of my heart looks for a way out
this body so ungrateful for it’s many years
of uninterrupted service,
my heart looks out from my stoop
skips a beat boom boom out go the lights
syncopated rhythm, desire beats all
making one last run for it my heart out doing
summersaults on the lawn runs through the sprinkler
joins the circus swinging on the flying trapeze
shot out of the of the cannon it goes
it goes and it goes gathering the dark,
tucking itself in for eternity, waiting in my car.
