In Her Heart There Is No Heart

And in his nimble mind,
faint generosity has drawn
to a close.

They don't have anything.

She has applied subtraction
to distract him from
accomplishing.

He has grown
winded.

The stalemate
yields
a record of
failed breathing.

As though expensive
atmosphere has left
a place to be
filled in
with something
homemade.

She wears color.
He portrays
the innocence
he carved
into a bar of soap.

Once a seam
always work
to do repairs.

The image of
small flight
before landing
on a branch.

Ideas about
connected things.

Sidewalk.
Hedge. Weeds
that look good
enough to be
considered flowers.
