My Heart

Written by Alek Ridet, 2026

---

My heart longs

for what it cannot speak of

it longs for the glistening golden waves

of Jackie O. at sunset

My heart aches

for one cannot be halved

without killing two

it aches for the impossibility of the past

the improbable future

My heart wants

one more day away from reality

it wants to be cajoled into the wrong thing

right thing

the thing that could make me or undo me
