Make my heart your art

Lover, get Ballardian

on my epicardium.

Crack my brittle ribs apart

and expose my beating heart.

Insert the tips of screaming steel

Etch the membrane with your needle

Let ink permeate my insides,

each beat retracing your designs.

Thus we mark this lovers' day

in a way that cannot fade.
