this same heart posted by imani , Thursday, March 25, 2010 at 8:13 PM, in Labels: ars poetica

this same heart
that you have
beaten and exhausted
will say your name
one last time
one final breath
one timid night
one certain death
and consider
all the other dawn
as holy as this
morning
it starts to realize
the need to love
itself so it
may be
liberated.
