lyrics

Heart On Its Own

Each note has been written
in such a way that it chases its own sound
across the miles
of delicate circuitry
wired to perform at maximum efficiency.

One echo is much like the other.
One muscle is always stronger
than another.
The rhythm requires absolute allegiance
to the song of the mind at rest.

A mechanical body can cross over
and disappear inside the cracks
in the wall ever widening.
Out comes filigreed wings to cloud the air,
your throat, stop mine—

In the wind in autumn
leaves might try to spell a message on the sidewalk.
I thought I heard you say you were leaving
but it turns out the only one here
is me.
