Heart in Hand

Poem by Jennifer Jones of Cerro Coso Community College
1st Place for College Poetry - 2017 Met Awards

all I wanted was a heart in hand. mine in yours
to be exact.
what was I thinking? (yes, yes. i wasn’t.)
a sonnet submerged in the lines I stuttered out through
my pathetic keyboard.
electric and love notes.
but you,
were never going to crack that code.
you had to have been looking for,
hoping for the chance,
in the first place.
