The Departing of the Heart

The Departing of The Heart Salutations for the sound of mind and poverty of heart Reparations that don’t come through in time to rectify the start Commiserations for the ones who find it hardest to eventually part Palpitations of another heart that cannot perceive the concept that it must depart Military consequences that send the young men out to war Conciliatory influences of the leaders who target hiring of the poor Crematory inferences necessary as they knock on heavens door An Adversary without recompense that helps me get up off the floor Kindness for the people that are on daily parade Blindness from the steeple as we play Holy charades They Find less sympathy for the feeble as they huddle close and afraid Passing through the eye of a needle as the ferryman gets paid Interjections from the galley as the defendant begins to cry Objections in a midnight alley as the amendment causes him to deny Rejections of the black sheep in a family as without her flock she’ll surely die Comprehensions of the urgency that communicate in sighs The End by Elizabeth Moroz
