I am going through some old notebooks and harvesting scraps of old poetry. Like this:
Enormous heart
that could crush pythons
with its heavy solidity.
It might become too onerous
and weighty
to stay standing much longer.
You would need long feet
like a clown
and a strong stomach
to carry such a thing.

that last stanza is a poem in itself.
Yes, it’s really all about the last stanza.
