Demon Heart

without a symbol or a sign
this stand is hard to take
and what is simple, so is blind
and harder still to break
the hold i'm in is not a hole at all
and though i'm held
the softened belly of a demon heart
is wholly felt
i closed my eyes
slept for a long time
fell from a tall branch
after a long climb
i couldn't believe
the bossom of the earth below me rose
it heaved
and set the only heart i had on fire
it set the only heart i had on
