Are sneaking up
my neck
from Shang Hai

We put our hearts there
When we didn't know
They was our hearts
Taped shut with fear

That there lessened
then swamped
There are now so many
Right ways

Single individual
Heartbeats
Are now
Would be smiles

Small furry things
Unseen for an age
Blink hopefully
Seek higher tongues
