you don't want to do it
- take a white hot brand to your heart -

different initials
it hardly matters

you know how it will feel
that this won't be the last time either

when you're ready
go for the center
in one movement

press in, hold
cry out

and drag away
to singe-close
as many paths to the heart
as you can bear

different initials
it hardly matters

by Spring
you won't feel a thing
