Headstrong

Your head is strong like mine,
Fading brains are here and there.
Hands wash themselves like hands,
The heart comported like a brain in harmony,
You absorb the strokes of the arms
In exercise or grooming, fully aware.
Dejected and resolved afterwards,
The heat of the heart gains until boiling,
Simmering like water over a stove,
Heartiness infuriated me similarly.
