Abstract Heart

The abstract heart in printed font

Lay on the page thin and taunt

Playing havoc with my thought

Two arrows then a dash, a dot.

There was no clue

Of what to do

As if I knew

About it too.

Maybe a mistake was made

The typing wrong, the error weighed

Heavily upon my swayed

And tired self, alone I laid

What did she mean

This abstract scene

With sentence lean

To read between?

Twas nothing after all I found

She spoke with clarity of sound

But an abstract heart that’s been around

The internet, her truth abounds.
