“heart in a wallet” by Patrick Maloney

257 Replies

I’ve a picture
of your heart
in my wallet,
still,
in (e)motion.

Out of it i take
like i can feel
its beating;
like i can tell
the mouth it’s

spent. Imagining
always kept us
hungry. Sometimes it’s

me who forgets
i ever stole it
before Mother
earth

was done with

the bones.

The way my eyes
glistened against glass
for a pulse
i could never afford

the currency present
of your time
to lend the world
its lease;
to unwrap,

to hold on to,
as if to never
give back.

Now we are
as we were:
broke,

together.
