'Origami Heart'

Fold and fold and fold,
Little Origami Heart,
Till nothing's left:
No more great yearnings
No more silly tears.
A too-big heart, this,
With echoes too strong
In this empty cavern -
A lone shrieking prisoner
Beating against the bars of his cage.

Fold and fold and fold,
Little Origami Heart -
Hush - Be quiet!
No one's listening to you anyway
Shrieking heart belied by smooth face,
Smooth face hiding the tempest within.
Fold... and the echoes go away
Fold... and the tears run dry.
And Fold ... let the beats...

Stop.
