living without lips (it's a possibility)

***
my heart is a plum
(a sweet stone, a fresh gage fruit, a plumb)
my heart is a plumb
(dropping true to frozen ground,
a lead wait, weighing my aim -
weighting, love, waiting)
my heart is aplomb
(confident, and
swathed in verity, and
plummeting to its
inevitable conclusion)

my heart is a plume
my heart is a vapor
my heart is a measure
my heart is a prune.
