Heart of Hearts
Ardent Heart,
Why do you put yourself on display?
Hardened Heart,
What are you fighting for?
Tachyardiac,
Won't you stop clapping away?
Guarded Heart,
Stopped from marching on for more?
Heartless Heart,
You anarchist! Must you share only pedantry?
Impassioned, rigid, bustling, cautious, or stark,
Now tell me, which of you is my heart of hearts?
