This short poem is a companion poem to the poem following it, written 12 years earlier. This poem offers a different view of my bursting heart: one of overflowing joy rather than sadness. Both happen to be true — sometimes at the same time…
Unkept
My heart bursts without notice
Joy bubbling up enstrange whirleds
And other plays
The proprietors due
Declare me
Unkempt
My Heart Breaks Daily
My heart breaks daily
Spilling out into the streets
And other public places.
The authorities instruct me
To clean it up.
