I’ll hide
in a corner of your heart
I do not even ask
a heart just for me
I merely want a place
from where to monitor
your systoles
extra systoles
do not wonder
if occasionally
you will feel a pain
in the chest
probably then
I’ll move my office
in the neighboring room
I will arrange
an emergency room
for desperate cases
of love
you see
I do not even need
your entire heart
