smoking after heavy
drinking. taste the bloody lip
thinking
up all night reading pacing writing
heart and mind playing
fighting
sprinkler system pushes up
out of the ground at dawn for the back
track

sometimes
if you get very still with yourself
and listen closely
the palm of your hand on your chest
your heart will tell you
all you need to know
if you get nothing
call the doctor
you may be dead

images from space
made all my big problems
small. now i can do whatever
my heart calls out
for
#katyamills
i like to keep it big and wide open. the heart. let it thump out in front. you risk getting hurt that way. true. but mine’s got that feature, the same one they put on new cars, whereby the engine angles and slides down when struck in a head on collision. even when doing next to absolutely nothin’, i aspire to keep it real. give thanks and praise. #katyamills
the crows fight the wind for me
and my burrito in this corazón of cloudy misty sea
far from our valley of perpetual
sunshine where down moods
cannot anchor
you asked for a kiss
and i gave
#katyamills
life is a one way
ticket outta
town – so – we may as well live
from the heart
out
#katyamills
the head told you
you were crazy the heart
called it out on a lie born
to live not born to die
#katyamills
to be honest i pressure cooked
an artichoke i stole from
your garden. drizzled oil
with garlic squeezed upon
the heart i cut out for you
all u ever learn comes to use
some way some
how

Five were the aerial views of the heart. Valves played and polished like horns. Sound bounces off points to show form. An audio track. The history of the world. Ten were the arteries full of light and uncontained. See the narrative of the world bubble up from undersea. Liquid. Seamless. Without end. Fifteen were the compressions. Before and after life. Unstudied. Immeasurable. Wild. Unknown.
