Heart Matters

Electro Cardiology

She can’t believe the criminals nowadays

Are spying inside my body

With their camera snake gliding through the portal

Its one eye focused on the heart

Where so many other eyes have been but none

So hot as that cauterizing needle

Nor eye precise as the microscopic lens takes in

The busy darting harbor of my heart’s

Charge, to keep good time for the band and swing

Its arms to funky arias of the atrium

Not runaway horses, the bullet in the bear den.
