But My Heart Is Always

I Think What Gets A Poem Going Is An Initiating Line.

If It Does, I Can Feel A Sense Of Momentum - The Poem Finds A Reason For Continuing.

I Love To Move Like A Mouse Inside This Puzzle For The Body, Balancing The Wish To Be Lost With The Need To Be Found.

You Will Always Be The Bread And The Knife, Not To Mention The Crystal Goblet And—somehow—the Wine.
