Of a heart...

fragile glass its covered with
this thing, it beats within my chest  
this i know for the glass has cracks
that slow expand
then contract
razor edged these cracks are made
an when my heart expands
it pushes through these cracks
when it contracts...
hair fine slivers are sliced away
measured in time
slice..     slice...    slice
with each beat of my heart
slice...    slice ...   slice
an each of these cracks
i find
has a name...
see this one
funny...
it has your name
still bleeding fresh
while these others
old with clotted pain
and i live
slice...    slice...   slice...
and breathe
slice...    slice...   slice...
