The Savage Heart



 The Savage Heart

 Constricted
  Unyielding

 How the body remembers
 the longing in cold bones.

 Listen to its faint beat
 as it dies a little more
 each day until all is still
 and the silence screams
 for holding.

    Quite a chilling poem here, Lisa! Sad to have a heart die a little more each day.
