What lies in any heart?

If by chance
we should meet, eyes exposed in contact,
that I do not know this strangeness;
pulsating, a continent.

I offer nothing, but this.

There lies a part within
no one shall know of, not even I.

Should you land
on my shore, touch the wild interior.
Only be that which you are.
Offer nothing but this, and

I shall be content.
