How does it feel to be a heart? (poem name)
Once a young woman said to me,
“How does it feel to be a man?”
And I replied, “My dear, I am not so sure.”
Then she said, “Well, aren’t you a man?”
And this time I responded, “I view gender
as a beautiful animal that people often take
for a walk on a leash
and might enter into some odd contest
in hopes of winning a strange prize.”
My dear, a better question for Hafiz
would have been, “How does it feel to be a heart?”
For all I know is Love.
I find my heart infinite,
and everywhere.
