detached heart

detached heart
written dec 2, 2007 in prague.


as soon as i decided to leave
i regretted it.
this happens all the time.
it's a result of having a detached heart.

this goofy body, always flailing around
acting connected, purposeful,
is totally unmoored, adrift.
it makes rash decisions.

our clumsy relationships are anchors.
without them, we just float away into open water
and our heart swims behind,
trying to catch up, ever late.
