A Piece by Jeff Steinle

Heart's Lair

Before inhabiting personality was in the womb
To when the chemicals of this body lie entombed
And in between when daily
Vague nonsensical memories
Splintered pictures
Sniper insights
Wounded eyes
Watch the lewd spoof that is love
Crowd mind
And block my reverence for release
Forming life's inclement ruckus
Bitter odyssey surrounding
Heart's lair
Inscape of love and gratitude
Building ensnaring word castles
Of experienced grief on meth
At release enthralled
From bodily sand castle death
