A heart can lie

Flip sides of the ventricles
throw away all its precious veins 
suck blood
undo all the sweetness 
in combustion,
oxygen-free.

Short of breath.

Turn the pink flesh
to roast chicken.

And have no record of 
softness in cloud,
the teardrop pattern.

In doing this,
somewhere 
words pierce the heart 
and one dies.

In this way someone in your life 
talks out love
and leave your company .

This is how it is ,
Our altering love, walking through a rainstorm. 
It is love 
that has no "r"
twice in its name.
