She writes longingly, \"Your heart \/\/ beats slower than hers as she lies beside you \/ at night and tries to match \/ her breath to yours, wanting your hearts \/ to beat in one iambic rhythm,\" but, understand, the poet may also be uncompromising in her poetry, as in \"Moving Day\" \"Call forth: wrecking balls, bulldozer . . .
