Heart on My Sleeve?
I wanted to put my heart
On the cuff of my sleeve,
But there wasn’t one.
I’ve no shirt today,
No sleeves to be found
How will you read me plain?
Here take my heart
I’ll let you keep it
Please hold it true.
Cherish it with joy
Keep it safe,
Put it in your pocket.
And if you say
“I’ve no pocket,
Or even pants to speak of.”
Then hold it in your mind,
As naked both of us,
Are already one.
– Vagabond Prophet
