I know your car by heart:
the light shape of the seats,
the anguish of each of its windows,
the colour of all its trimmings
I know your hand by heart
cutting through the inside
of the car I know by heart:
each stroke re-enacted
in a digital imprint,
the shape of each of your fingers
on the inside of your hand
The syntax learnt by rote
of the car I know by heart
(etymologically:
from the depths of one’s heart)
