The black bell of irony.A Poem by Nicole LeighMy bloated heart is spilling on the floor. I hate you. It beats and pumps its lusciousness so fast. You slip. Its slowing now just watch the rubies fall. So pretty. What’s that dear? You hurt your head? You fell? No matter just drink it fast, don’t waste it. You fool. I can see its getting very dark now. Don’t go yet.
