Each new love a string tied to my heart. Those strings stained, darkened with blood The shiny fishing line gouging deeply Cutting into the muscle, absorbed into it. that shiny silver subsumed by rich, dark red. -- Sometimes the sniping of a heart string is agony. The connection a shadow of once was, Paraumbilical veins that cling Pouring blood. -- Pain – a low growl in the throat The lightest touch a shooting pain dulls to a grimacing twinge. --- Finally gritting my teeth Making that final, hard slice an exhalation of relief. It’s finished. The pain well remembered. --- Already a new thread between my fingers A shock. A gift. Disbelief it is mine to hold. -- A careful winding round No strangulation A snug squeeze, comforting. -- Warmth seeping in. A slow washing over Silver tinted a deepening pink. -- The line pressed close Encouraging the muscle to take it. The entwining already begun.

The Heart Strings
Each new love a string tied to my heart. Those strings stained, darkened with blood The shiny fishing line gouging deeply Cutting into the muscle, absorbed into it. that shiny silver subsumed by rich, dark red. -- Sometimes the sniping of a heart string is agony. The connection a shadow of once was, Paraumbilical veins that cling Pouring blood. -- Pain – a low growl in the throat The lightest touch a shooting pain dulls to a grimacing twinge. --- Finally gritting my teeth Making that final, hard slice an exhalation of relief. It’s finished. The pain well remembered. --- Already a new thread between my fingers A shock. A gift. Disbelief it is mine to hold. -- A careful winding round No strangulation A snug squeeze, comforting. -- Warmth seeping in. A slow washing over Silver tinted a deepening pink. -- The line pressed close Encouraging the muscle to take it. The entwining already begun.
