What Do I Do With This Heart?

What an amazing 
adventure.

I am laughing about you 
being around the corner
after I made many more zig-zags.
Lovely.

The book you gave me
is both a visual and poetic
work of art.

Thank you.

Your inscription
brings me to my knees.

What do I do with this heart?
A heart that seems to be able
to feel the world.

How do I be
able to be,
instead of do?

The rain comes down.
The earth gets wet.
On pavement, the confused earthworms
sacrifice themselves to life.
