today’s heart
lighter than a glass fragment dislodged
from the hold of a sunken slave ship by a shark
in overfished waters dragged by net to this
grey cove. a shallow rustling freedom of
azure lucidity wrestling the sharp
corrosive salt tricking my edges clean
stealing my taste for blood.
so fragile hands.
pulse filled. soft so.
