there
buried deep
the treasures
of a heart
heart
whisper my name
whisper
my name
in
dark rooms
let
me sink
into
your heart
A Papago song of the night
In the great night my heart will go out,
Toward me the darkness comes rattling,
In the great night my heart will go out.
translated by Frances Densmore & an unidentified interpreter
your heart
oh so high
the wall
around your heart
words in the air
words
in the air
are arrows
to the heart
each day this pain
each day
this pain
my heart
thinking
of you
hands
two hands
over ribs
holding the heart
in place
the wind blows
the wind blows
steady
tonight
carrying with it
the weight
of a heart
Heart by Guillaume Apollinaire
MY HEART like a flame turned upside down
translated by Roger Shattuck
be still
be still
heart
lest you
be broken
once again
Leonard Durso
