You Have Two Hearts

you have two hearts
and i choose the savage one
i take my chances with the parts of you
that border the sea
the angles of you
that tell the pulsing tides
"here, and no further"

you have two hearts
and i moved my bed
into the one that drinks the rivers dry

others have their causes
their politics
their shallow share of dirt

but in your savage heart
i have a homeland.
