Listen to poem:

Explosive Is the Heart

My heart explodes,
        shattering to infinity…
      and thus the pieces fall on lonely roads,
        crumbs of affinity…
  with fragments of my heart dispersed through endless time,
  futile falling fractions from a cascading climb,
    forming words of rhythm and rhyme…
  a shredded scattered soul standing at the crossroads.
