V-Tach

Low down and dirty, says
the heart howling like a baby,
like a blown circuit,
bad rhythm flowing
all the way to the sea.
Listen to me, partner
of my drum-beat life.
I can offer you food, wine,
the blue blue earth.
I call and call, but you
will not want to answer.

    Great! Ya nailed it! And, you’re right Pal! Yer alone commin and goin. No let up to it. Just a mad dash to the shore pursued by vicious monkeys and wasps with the faces of nuns! Seriously, this poem really works for me!
