Saving My Heart's Life
Years from now
will I have put you back
into my flimsy chest
will you reach out again
through my eyes
my fingertips
to soothe familiar wounds
of other terrified
hearts?
Or will you huddle
a flawed ruby
in a stone bed
and what will I stuff
around you
so nothing ever
touches you
ever
ever
ever
again
