the heart crosses
and re crosses itself
while constantly running
from the mind
battered energy
stirs the pot
misery calls up the troops
from far back at the behind
the trenches dug
for longing's bitter fight
collapse
under careful scrutiny
your push to be first
and most furiously
memorable
only slaughtered your soldiers
where they stood in the field
as
my heart is not some battle
that you can plan for
wage
nor so easily win
as you are using your
overwhelming fire power
on the smallest
most harmless of all
animals
a woman
who just so happens
to be in love
with someone else
there is no war with you
today
just my love
for him
so
