Dehisce

Dehisce

once, i spoke into a heart;

it pumped frigid glimmers –

stoned enough to break me down,

soft enough to soak me in,

inward and outward

back and forth

puncture wound

depart

relapse

oh, that heart –

it did infiltrate

once a heart spoke into i;

i listened,

glistened

did not ask why –

no, I lie

that heart?

it squeezed and wormed;

dug in real deep,

this heart of mine,

it sighed, dehisce
