A Strong Heart

One needs a strong heart to wake from sleep.
Eyes opened and ears attuned to the world as it is.
One needs a strong heart to keep fighting for life,
To train a muscle to survive.
I can hear you on your way up
(you sound beautiful to me),
Your ear on my chest,
My heart responds to your listening.
I can't breathe
oh no oh no i
apart from you.

Leviathan (Pablo Neruda)

Ark, wrathful piece, night of the brute
awash, alien antarctica,
you will not pass me by
heaving your berg of shadows without one day
my entering your walls and dredging up
your armature of sunken winters.
You sombre fire spat south,
blown, exiled planet, your silent territories
shifting sargassos and shaking up
the solid ages of the sea.
Form throbbed alone, a hugeness sealed
by tremors in the world through which would glide
your hide of majesty, frightened itself
by its own potency and tenderness.

Breathe Easy

I know this doesn't help, but I don't know what to say.
You're out of control.
"Breathe easy," is what I meant instead of what I said before.
Anxiety is excitement without proper breath support.
Load the gun and get your toe on the mark.
Get set and go.
Breathe easy.

This is exactly what it is.
I've been living in imaginary safety.

In the car driving home,
in a crowd or alone,
At work, at school,
I need you safe and healthy.
Walking down the street, no matter what city.
Where do they come from?
Do I know any of them?
Where do they learn these lessons?
Who is teaching them?
I know that I need you safe,
I know that I need you healthy.
Stop this, it can't happen again.
