How the Heart

Posted on June 1, 2018 by John Biscello
The sound,
the fury,
and brassy racket
the multitudes within
have made on my behalf,
or fractures to mend,
yet my heart,
bare in its asking
and grievous wants,
resounds its measureless bask
to innocence with no end
or fixed cause.

    Yes, you are one of the Sincere Ones, and perhaps the Willy Wonka of candy-heart-making 🙂
