love should leave you shouting at strangers
expose your poetry to to danger
if you want the water fall to start
you'd better break your own dammed heart
- Paul Bellows
The chours to the opening song on Tape Deck Classics has been running through my head. I love the way the last line works on at least a couple of levels. It resonates with the scriptual images of damnation and harding of our hearts.
I'll give you a new heart. I'll put a new spirit in you. I'll cut out your stone heart and replace it with a red-blooded, firm-muscled heart.
- Ezekiel 11:19
I see breaking a dammed heart as shatering of stone. Works for me.
- Peace
