this real, beating thing
a ravel of cracks
my heart
eavesdropping
for the lapse
in the dull gunmetal
of my rational
thinking
to shake in latent ache
imbued by dewy blinking
and past pain's quake
a glimmered trinket
of my love awake
I had to use it
so it could break
to witness
the bloody beauty in the mess
blessed
in a pursuit so precious
a heart is not
to lock
in dustless display case
preserved in almond scent
a merchandised product
for instagram likes
tidy, fake
so I'll pay the price
taking together
my pain, my pleasure
living to the beckoning brim
fully human
and all in
