MY HEART NOW – BUFFY AAKAASH

Click player for audio.

My heart now,
decades older,
so easily dies 
from raging fire
to the coldest 
and blackest 
of coals,
          following the course of entropy
               (its laws revealed to me in high school science),
settling in this 
stable place of unrest,
its true nature 
the inertia of comets.

While below,

in my stomach now,
rages a stormy ocean 
pummeling the fiery lands,
spewing the slimiest 
most putrid 
sludge ever seen –
products of Death,
ashes and water 
mixed together.

          Once a volcano,
I am now a humble 
Mountain,
praying for Nature
                      to make me new again.
