This Poor Ol' Corpse's Heart
it misses
the way we use to sit and breathe
together
inhaling
and exhaling
a hundred thousand times a night
some nights
more
this poor ol’ corpse’s heart
misses the way it would once beat
against the chest
on summer afternoons
movements
and animations of the living world
could so easily draw it out
this poor ol’ corpse’s heart
buried deep
and missing the sun
