A leaf in my hand

I do not want to be

immortal because I would

only be a statue

that would slow down

the infinite paths

of an inhale-

of an exhale.

 

Coming to a birth

and then

going to a funeral

the past was recited

to create in the

unstable present.

 

My heart feels

too much to learn

what they are teaching….

 

“You’re lying.

  You have no heart.

  I took it

  and that

  is certain.”
