heart
how many ways?
cannot
be held
cannot
be told
comes
stubbornly to heart
where
tears are telling
some
have called it plasticine
and
some inscribe the stone
make
moon my destination
float
some way across
steel
coracle for
there
are lands and seas and loves
the
lungs are with or near enough
invisible
indivisible
heart
no such thing
as
such
and
until desolation
it
is divided
along
lines of light
comes
with thorns
pumps
truth
holds
tight
as
ink where it pours out
monkeys
can't get that stopper back in
terrible
show off
so
meek secret, sings
makes
all the world its shower
goes
in every direction at once
for
breakfast for dinner
I
like it for tea
certain
colours come to mind
heart
rings in the ears
takes
off its pants time to time
just
saying
you
can imagine
call
it my confusion
in a
cosy corner sits
unravelling
the kitten's stairs
you
let another season in
someone
is always at home
ever
nagging a heart as if
it
were ours to hold
how
naked this bloodletting
heart
can't hide
rhymes
with itself
and
best of all another
and
others
mirrors
all around!
it
always points into the weather
it
always points to home
whenever I read coracle, I always think of Ben Gunn's little boat in Treasure Island.

I think this might be the first steel one
