El Corazon
Stained linen
Rivets in corrugated cardboard
Construction paper
With torn, jagged edges

This would be you:
My little heart
My little could be.


Squeak in an empty oilcan
Hum of the late night refrigerator
Cigarette burning
A hole in the back seat of a rental car

Slow stench while you
Red supple shameless
Stamp stomp press
Four chambers push

Rush
My little time bomb,
Keyless safe swinging

Fall open.
