If My Heart Were America

Brian Reickert

If my heart were America
your purchase would include:
Montana, Iowa, Colorado.

We should be free,
shouldn’t we?
To say stupid things,
and to make horribly disastrous
mistakes that might ruin
both your life and mine.

I could drive for days
across the sprawling fertile
expanse of my blunders,

wind up busted flat somewhere
on the outskirts of your affection.

Somewhere between here and
the lunar depths of the Grand Canyon,
you and I belong.

It’s not a question
of when and where really,
but of our willingness to feel.
