both got a heart
by Charlie Morgan
men's hearts are different
than feminine counter-producers
and alike as snowflakes...
hunters both, sleuthly
they circle life's ring
never stepping outside.
heart, the most selfish organ,
is so for the body's protection,
and for the cells' production
of the acids-to-sugars ever-ex-change
making the heat of life, the pulse
of social veins vibrate with
each day's trek.
breaths, leading to thoughts,
thoughts to feelings: themselves
conduits for mental movement thru todays,
thru tomorrows, thru the ether
asking the unlicensed for permission
to be of a mindset different
than theirs.
eversearching, we/he/she
are in a game of musical chair
and hunting with hope to win,
speeding the music with our whirl,
while seeing the vacancy of our life
be grabbed-up by another.

| Posted by Rusty C Arquette on 05/18/05 at 09:17 PM I think it was Carson Mcullers novel titled 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' that comes to mind...you seem to be exploring this universal theme with a focused eye...it is a source of a multitude of emotive feelings that we carry for a lifetime...I dig - RCat |
