A. Kooser
my heart is conflicting
it's stretched out over miles
like highways that we've driven
through the gem stone cold spring rains
I hear your heart beating under my palm
the heat lingers when you are gone
chorus:
carry the sunset in a photograph
carry the rio in a photograph
carry me in a photograph caught in time
it's all I'm leaving you after the storms
they say it's tornado season
the sky collects our fears
in its red clouds
they're all full
with the tatters of dawn deferred
I feel your heart beating under my palm
the heat lingers when I am gone
(chorus)
