She writes longingly, \"Your heart \/\/ beats slower than hers as she lies beside you \/ at night and tries to match \/ her breath to yours, wanting your hearts \/ to beat in one iambic rhythm,\" but, understand, the poet may also be uncompromising in her poetry, as in \"Moving Day\" \"Call forth: wrecking balls, bulldozer . . . Bury what will not burn.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ciara Shuttleworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen F.
