Survey
in constant fear
I survey my heart for hope
an acre of land bought
for nothing but a laugh

Poems on the topic “heart” on Poets.by.
Bright period
this break in the rain
not in any forecast
heart raining still
like a sot
Revolutionary romantic
the multitude rising
have been a salve
for the heart simple
as rain in the woods
more in it than any
weary answer
All heart
a rose to look after
and a puppy to look after
brought joy to me
half drunk
God knows my heart is a fancy music
God knows my heart is full of death
Sartorial
I put on my best black
trimmed with black
silk on velvet gown
but O if I could have found my heart
that blessed crumb
Graveyard shift
we pay for the morning
in unaware work
day is a hollow dance
the world makes
my heart give me
a few ordinary words
but do it in writing
the nights run faster than ink
Chemistry
between two apothecaries
the chemistry is charged
language might not be a physician
at some appointment
we come to no agreement on the heart
to part with it or not
I cut off my hair
as everything that is over
Streetwise
I walk the length of the dark street
a busy confiture of doors and high words
where I pretend to know trouble
and pass some heart tempered with sleep
Killing field
the field at night
empty as good fortune
who is a little lame
on one foot
who has an owl ready for supper
in her heart
Forest moth
a moth in the woods is her own light
serving not the expected dark joy
but haste and a heart studious to be a room
Loner
ash for my wages
my being much alone
like any art that children learn
the only business
of the heart will in time be
the present
Urban tumbleweed
up and down
to many places
a sack which begins
to want its color
like a spirit of water
returned to the yard
the heart has read
a true grammar in it
