{one heart breaking}
  hank beukema


Martina asked me if you could hear the sound of
One heart breaking
If there was no one there to care...
I said that the movement of the air from
One hand clapping could cause a
Hurricane on the other side of
The Earth....
She said
What little mind you had left
When I first met you
Has gone totally mad, hasn't it?
I said, Yes, I've noticed,
But it's the only charming quality
I still have...
