Strings Harps Hearts
for Gina Lowe

unusually-made/
beautifully-made mouth

made to fit into mine
or into whose

could drive my Blues away
with kiss, with kisses

made happy
even with a smile

so very easily able
to pull at, to tug at
my heart strings

she can be cruel
or she can be kind

hooked or hitched or tied

moon to tide
similarly connected

moon rises and falls
tides high and low
