some day, the actions

some day, the actions
we take and the actions we
do not take will be
finely detailed in reams
of schematics, outlining
the exact series of
electrical pulses that
take us from point A
to point B. when we are
in danger of breaking,
you or i will pull down
the heaviest volumes,
pinky-swear until the
cows come home that
we will get to the bottom
of this, not allow
each other to experience
so much vulnerability

when the heart breaks,

when the heart breaks,
the body, unbeknownst
to the host,
disconnects, one, two,
maybe several
organs at a time. it
is how on day seven,
the outer shell awakes
first and recognizes
pain along the circuitry,
the stomach reacts,
two-thirds liver-less,
the spinal cord lets
go a bouquet of
nerves, and the
tongue is speechless,
numb to the touch
