Cut me open
You won’t find a heart
.
Search for me in my children
In their minds my soul
In their fists pieces of me
My kidneys are on ice
My liver in slices
___oozing the poison of my youth
.
My tongue is not short of evidence
My eyes have seen you
.
My brain is a nest of cobwebs
___a collection of beaming quavers crotchets
.
I have no recollection of ever having a pulse.
