balloon

that one’s mylar
a heart in the sky
mine is muscle and blood
and tender parts and
hurts
too much pain
lately

who let go
to let it twist up
free and away
or lost
discarded
forgotten

my tears fall like
rain
in june
unwelcome not
unexpected
the mylar heart passes
through the
rain
it’s ribbon tail dances
too high to
reach

if my heart
had
a ribbon tail it would
say
hold tight don’t
lose me or
let go
i can’t dance
alone
