New York

Late night New York
this city
dotted by bright gas stations and diners,
strung with insomniacs,
waitresses,
and lunatics.

Extract My Heart

I fear another betrayal
should be the last.
my journey was sadder than I could put down,
my history, dree, and dreary!
And not exactly a kind which I should have chosen
but never mind!
I'll extract my heart
and I'll continue whole.
