by heart we mind our verse... dredging funk, for carbuncles and silk wryms. apart. entwined. our words....tumble from our chin straps. [ bits bit ] we are writing poems like paradigms equal twenty. our backs are bent. we two: scratching magic with blunt tools, we are sonnet ‘s fool as much as any crime’s pet. we shank the warden in the prism. we free the rainbow. we change a blank page into a blank stare. by heart we mind our heart’s thought. on a bed.
