“soluble heart”
POETRY by:
IVANNA BARANOVA
soluble heart
you mouth impossible
against anything untoward
our highest good
tossing thought fields to trash
call them
ego rejects, to inspire
I kneel for the thought
then the asterisk
harmonic cartography, apple of my eye
cinching the throat of my quiet highway
sometimes the body just wants rest
levity as future, optimism
I have seen your soluble heart replete
