SLAMMED

my heart in the doorway of love;

it got bloodied and bruised.

I left it there.

It swelled

on the other side

of a reckoning

exacted

the price

no change

forthcoming.

The wrench

in my heart

knew from the start

that

our days

would be

fractions

of time,

our souls

out-numbered.

Glad, I knocked

anyway.
