Unrepentant heart

The heart, a gypsy whore
saves a kernel of 
virgin gold 
just for itself 

every moment it is beheld from its eyes
is a moment of triumph
this.. is just to survive

there are those with better hearts
who give rise to better souls
who wont accept 
the devil made me do it 

the breach of intelligence
falls dumb, like a tongue cut out
and thrown into the dusty floor

the mind observes numbly
the stripes
the bloody and stinging stripes 
of a filleted whore heart
raining soft red droplets
on an axis of conscience

a hungry child watches the spectacle
it looks into the eyes of the heart
with understanding
I only know what I want, it said

who made you do it? An inquisitor grills
the answer is 
the same 
every time
it gets caught in the crossing

it was me, it was always me,
the unrepentant heart said
doing this to myself
