What’s a heart between beats?
Useless pieces of wind-up mechanics
a still lump of faulty desire,
shaped by struggle,
tireless in its longing
molten rock spiked with shards of glass
broken words, the silence of salty tears
frozen into piercing ice
and where my blood should whisper and flow
I got silence and… regret
So-
What’s a heart between beats?
Mine – a coiled snake ready to bite
– a lump of hurt, confusion, and anger.
