teflon heart

mine is not
the teflon heart

things roll off me
like oil off a duck

leaving wings
like black fangs

that will never carry
south for the winter

mine is not
the teflon heart

but a siltstone cliff
written deep

of thrashing seas
fit now to crumble

and crunch
beneath your feet

mine is not
the teflon heart

and neither
is yours –

I don't care
what you say
