... It... Poem by Sara Tehrani

I don’t smoke from the heart of it

I don’t joke to pull you apart from it

But I sing right from the gut of it

To bring about the deep of it

Have you ever fallen deep?

To a place that misery once did seek

And has she ever changed your mind?

Made it easy for love to find?

Have you ever fallen hard?

To find you cannot end what you start?

I don’t drink from the neck of it

I don’t think for the heck of it

But I bring the whole face of it

So why should I hide from it?
