POEM: The Starved Heart
the starved heart beats
till it can no more
in ashes on
the cutting floor
while all around
its maker’s mark
glows sullen, leaden
in the dark
this darkest wine
this nameless vow
the one release
from ‘I’ and ‘thou’
can liberate
from liberty
the thingless face
we dare not see
the evidence
we can’t permit
the crime on which
all others sit
the sin from which
All others start;
to feed the belly
starve the heart
