Movement: Heart

On greeting card and bumper sticker
the heart red in bold curves
does not move
the thing
is as the surgeon’s scalpel
discovers it.
What coloring book teaches
the other movements of this wonder?
Here is a center
that moves everywhere.
She says she loves me
and my heart leaps
so quickly could it all be
as real as a pneumatic pump?
24 December 1984
