My Credulous Heart

A surreal image
sauntering down the earth,
sends some unvoiced words,
that rush with a rustling sound
to my obliging ears,
that absorb and relay resolutely
to my credulous heart,
that is ever-ready to wriggle out
of the overcrowded thoracic cavity,
getting me drenched
with fancy ideas to crave
for something esoteric
in the incessant rains of mirage…
