Heart To Heart

Posted - 08/04/2006 : 12:14:43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hold it in your hand. Look into the dark tunnels of it arms, or are they ears? Peer into those inviting depths; look right, then left and leap into the warm embrace. Spit when it taunts you. Watch the cider-scented trail mark out each cut and graze, scars that lay like an A to Z around the atrium, adding to the haze. Let it lie against your chest cuddling the frantic, fibrous wire pacing repetitively on the back of beats. Getting sloshed on the slashes of cherry - an animated caricature - that wash against its face. Clench it, crunch it, smack it and munch it as it wriggles for escape. Pay hommage to acidic tears that have raped your flesh as you bind it, whip it, blend it, sip it and wash away years. Apologise, laying thick bouquets at its waist then stroke the ventricle. Fondle the fruity foliage that falls and lays placid on the floor like diamonds,joining up cracks and corners sizzling and symmetrical.
