I lost a lot of blood for obscure reasons
as if in front of a movie camera
I ran into the wilderness for as long as I had strength
and yet my heart's broken over you
it burst into tiny delicate threads
they say I walk around my tongue swollen from love
like an old nag of a camel like a rabid bitch foaming at the mouth
they say I no longer have any shame
indeed I no longer feel any shyness
I tear my clothes off and touch myself
and touch myself cold wet dry hot
because my heart's broken over you
fibrous swollen juicy husks
my heart's burst only for one man
I had to wrap it in newspaper
so the flies wouldn't come so it won't grow worms so it won't stink
my heart's broken over you
its hinges and tubes the women in me are mesmerized their tongues sticking out
on the way to be tamed on the way to be killed
my heart's burst and now lies down strangely obedient in an orphanage.
