“Ornithology”
There’s a bird in my heart.
A robin, or perhaps a cardinal,
With feathers as red as cherry tomatoes,
Caged within the off-white bones of my ribs.
Furiously, she beats her wings
To the off-beat of the pulsing
Of the organ single handedly
Keeping me alive.
The feathers brush with a soft violence,
Caressing every chamber and ventricle and artery,
Until all I know is the flutter evoked
By the thought of her.
