Alexis Y. Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Heart

in a vital heart
           love and hate just conversate
                about life and death
           each new sunset and sunrise 
              as lungs inhale and exhale

Paul Callus May 31, 2021 at 6:22 AM As long as those lungs are working, then the heart is free to welcome numerous debates, Alexis! Sometimes the heart gets me stuck in a corner, so I ask the mind for a helping hand! ~ Warm regards // paul
