Out of kindness
as hearts’-ease
There’s no heartbeat in the ocean tide
There’s no heartbeat in the setting sun
There’s no heartbeat in cinderblocks walls
However there’s a heart in my chest
that beats per measure
Thump, thump, ba boom
Measuring up to my heartsong
Out of goodness
as heart’s-ease
There’s no heartbeat in the blue sky
There’s no heartbeat in the cosmos
There’s no heartbeat in glaciers
However there’s a heart in my chest
that beats per measure
Measuring up to my stoutheartedness
ba bump, lub-dub
From the bottom of my lion heart
Hearts in one’s mouth
When a heart leaps it opens
When a heart melts it bleeds
Hearts on one’s sleeve
When a heart knocks it skips
When a heart sinks it pours
