- Heart on a String -

    Piñata strung, games played
          with wave of wand
to strike blindly, encased baggage;
          dreams desired yolk

which heart ached to be picked,
       perforated so pit eaten
                for Soul’s satiation

                 by virtuous vixen
                       who reached through realms
                                without regret following behind.
