30 days of poems – 2020 {30}
.
quickly now
tell me what you love
who you miss
how you
survive
if the rain makes you weep
if the stars make you shiver
if the ocean brings you to your knees
quickly now
show me the heart
that’s fallen from your sleeve
read me your mind
from the book of deep night
tell me the story that races
through the tunnels
of your soul
quickly now

I love this: “show me the heart that’s fallen from your sleeve.”
It made me cry because I do wear my heart on my sleeve and often get hurt because of it. What a lingering image!
Thank you.
