Exposure
An Instagram astrologer
says Virgos are hard to love,
reluctant to open up,
guarded & managerial.
Not one word of this
applies to me,
born on September 10
with my heart uncovered.
I am not a manager.
There are no bosses here.
Only that same heart
scarred & older.
I gave it as a gift
under a late-summer sky.
It was returned to me,
damaged.
If I sit quietly I can hear
the rush of blood
like a subway train
under a sidewalk.
Mind the gap.
