Supernovas and Exploding Hearts (Critique and Comment)?
Pulsing, sweating, drinking, spinning
Touching, feeling, holding, sinning
Paperback hearts
Ripped to shreds
Rustling around and wearing apart
Like a brain with two heads
So smile and greet
Ever so sweet
Say your goodbyes
I'm coming right there
It's not a surprise
It's not anywhere
But between your eyes
Believe no lies
Cut all your ties
And leap...

Excellent title, Tom. The poem is magnificent, except for one line that doesn't fit.

The reason I don't like heads is that it doesn't fit with the perfect flow of your poem, nor does it have any connection to the title.

The title could just be Supernova-- the poem says it all about exploding hearts.
