my heart is an abandoned warehouse
full of angry ghosts.
my heart is a Chinese
puzzle box.
my heart is a dead thing
refusing to beat.
Ctrl-Alt-Delete my heart.
my heart is a thirst trap
for sadness ants.
flash flood warning
but for my heart.
something fell down
something made a sound
something broke
when it hit the ground. it wasn’t
my heart, was it?
recycle my heart
into something useful
already.
