Watch for Falling Hearts
by Devon Koren - 1993

What's left of us
The vagabond poets
The artists with the blood on our hands
Just us few
Listless dreamers
Watching the hourglass of the sand
We trudge forward - our heads bowed
Silent reproach from those around
The blood that spills
From my wounds
Marks the trail behind me
And one lonely trucker on the highway
Slows
And watches for falling hearts
