"The Beating Heart," poem by Dorothy
The Beating Heart
After the texts
and the commentaries,
the explanations
and the explications,
the footnotes and
the end notes,
and the endless
interpretations and revisions,
nothing is left but this:
the beating heart
of God pounding
here,
in your own chest,
naked signal,
telling you once more
that this pulse
is your own.
