The Deep Heart’s Core

Michael Robbins

August 10, 2017

We must stop feeling things in the deep heart’s core. That’s where the lies live.

If you would see what’s behind you, close your eyes. Shut your mouth if you want to send people to hell.

You have to want to go to hell. Deserve’s got nothing to do with it. Yet hell has a waiting list.

Well, that’s how dumb I am, feeling my way to hell one name at a time.

Michael Robbinsis the author of two books of poetry and the essay collection Equipment for Living: On Poetry and Pop Music.
