Some people sell their blood. You sell your heart. It was either that or your soul. The hard part’s getting the damn thing out. Twisting motion, like shucking oysters, Your spine a wrist, And then, hup! It's in your mouth. You turn inside out. Like a sea anemone coughing pebbles. Plop! Fish guts in a pail, and there it is!

Each one complains, an instant gourmet,

And you stand listening to them
in the corner, like a newly-hired waiter,
Your diffident, skillful hand on the wound hidden
Deep in chest, under your shirt.

Shyly, heartless. shyly, heartless.
Some people sell their blood. But you...
