i am incredibly foolish & repetitive foolishly repetitive repetitively foolish; there is a pebble in my heart, small but firm, impenetrably set still, demanding to be felt coercing the blood supply to soak it all up as if blood can seep through a pebble it cannot; but it wonβt stop demanding attention it is smothering and relentless; i have shortness of breath and my heart pounds like a door slammed shut and then opened and then slammed shut itβs almost as if i can feel the pebble rattle within the walls with each pound, welting the vulnerable tissue; open, slammed shut, open, slammed shut; we all forget how to cry when we most need to
