poetry of jesse wiles

my eyes capture the light

my eyes capture the light but it's my heart that sees my ears gather the sound but it's my heart that hears my lips and throat and tongue make the shape but they never form words my fingers reach out and my legs move this mass protein cells through space my heart pumps the blood but they none quite inhabit this world this devastating beauty

it's the heart that isn't really the heart

all in all is all we all are <3
