I Am Running Away

Come, follow me into the dark...

I want to curl up, purring, on your chest

so that if your heart arrests I can knead it

back to beating – and I know that it was

me who stalled its throbbing, so it is my right

(if I could only grow that miniscule)

to burrow beneath your breast-bone,

and seal that battered zone, so it can heal.
