Closing letter to the heart II




Dear heart I write
I write because you are the nearest thing I have to a soul
outside me besides me
there is nothing
but for you
there are no voices
you are not troubled by the cleft between blood and wakefulness
the contingencies of consciousness don't bother you
the reason not the cause is not your problem
yours is just to be born
I force you to ache
just to think about it
just to put myself in your position which is my position
I can feel you pay for it
dear heart
I write to you because I am incapable of writing
I could never apologize enough for never
knowing you or for knowing
you enough
not to have spared you what I know
and is true of both of us
