Fragile Is The Heart


chance, you charm me
and with one finger
swirl my sky
stirring clouds
to change space
as I watch them
on my back
so intricate is tender
with touch smooth as rain
I drink you up
with a thirst
from many denied
there are things
you can not
speak out loud
but turn to whispers
that are carried on
the back of the wind
I hear them
in the near distance
as clearly as if they
were right beside me
like old dime store chimes
thin painted blades of glass
tied tightly to silk red string
day light’s voice of twinkle
a sound in present past
in peaceful recognize
slowly filling these
places of hollow
touching the edge of me



“but I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish
and I'm sad”…Joni Mitchell

My heart
is like a ship upon the seas—
I am easily moved—
Scolding will not improve me
