People throw their hearts at strangers, don't they?

Splattered on a canvas

Or, scrawled on a wall,

Art

Is just

A husk of form

Without the artless agony

Of daily life:

The strangled scream

And the carving knife.

I've just seen E.Musk throwing his heart to his fans...an old Italian custom, I'm led to believe....although I didn't see anything leaving his hands!

That’s probably why I stuck with poetry, at least it’s something substantial to be chucked in strangers’ direction 🕊😊🙏🏻🌹
