I found a new dumpster heart
clagged with rust
I thought scrub it
and scour it
salt rubs & steel pads
Make an old black thing new
They told me don’t expose it
to water too long
Avoid tomatoes, vinegar
all things with acid
Keep it from boys
whose intentions are red
I strip and reseason
my new old heart
Cast it on fire so that
nothing will stick
I think next time
I’ll char his flesh
In a heart that spits and
sizzles and sears
I’ll swallow him into
wiggly gutmeat
Let my stomach acid
break him down
