To Heart

for J.B.

Not only the organ,

its shape, its function,

not only the open, global middle,

the pulsing, fractious region,

 

but also to heart,

encourage, to animate,

to give heart to, to take

to heart, to fill up

 

one centrality from an-

other, to heart it with one's space,

to concentrate, consolidate

the halves into a heart.
