Lend Me Your Heart

If you’re my friend
You lend me your heart.
My pump is out of order
And need time
To recover.
Your muscle could
Make me even
Better I was
Before the
Borrowing.

Flirting cow

You may be wondering why I have given such a name to my image. When my uncle took the picture in the fifties, most Finnish people worked in agriculture and lived in the countryside. In winter, young couples met secretly in barns, and in summer, under the sky. On the other hand, the cow in the picture has a seductive look.


The Poem’s Hero

The poem’s hero is searching for a friend who could love him. I think he is talking to someone who has given him hope but not a certainty yet.
