heart react

Sometimes too much too full 
gets said to not say something 
wordless back. Some times too 
much, but anyway. I feel compelled.
To 
HEART REACT, just
HEART REACT
Was once a joke, but 
too much underneath comes true, 
when once you mean a joke too much.
There is no longer kidding you, me
kidding me. As much as kidding
can deflect, or gloss or smooth
or turn it wry, the jig is up.
The jig's begun to dance itself
to curtsey and to genuflect.
Well, might as duck-a-fucking
heck
just
HEART REACT a  
HEART REACT, 
if that's the natural response!
It cannot mean too much to say
too much, to show it once 
too much. To 
HEART REACT, so 
HEART REACT  
when once you mean a thing too much 
to put in words, too much won't do.
The heart wants what?
Just what it wants
It's long since past a joke,
with you
