The heart that barricades and pulls away

protects bright blood and vivid emotions.

Hollowed out

scooped out

till bones

only show,

building

walls and beams

remnants of paint

covered with dust.

Shoes, clicking and

slapping cement,

moving across

pavement moving

across tar-covered

roads moving across

tile, wood, tile wood,

carpet, moving

moving

moving.

Following the Eyes (poem #282)

August 4, 2018April 2, 2022 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Following the eyes

in the room to the

edge of the corner

to the corner of the carpet

traveling upwards onto the

skin of the talking body,

who is this?
