HEART
THORN
by
Eric Lee Baker
Twist around
and pull
this thorn
from
deep within my heart
to unleash this
blood
upon the
hands
that never touch me
And feel my warmth
cascade,
envelop
each and
every fold
Apart
from
every question you
could ask
Every answer I could
offer
To be dreams
unto
ourselves
and
lovers
to each
other.
