Paper over your heart
put this bag over your head
extend arm and willing vein
fasten whatever straps you can reach
and pin this paper over your heart
cradle me in a bed of forgetting
no give on the soft insides of the restraints
the words rushed, hushed, urgent.
give me something good to eat!
pin this paper over your heart
stretch your spirit to the waiting sky
five bullets and a blank to a better world
a cocktail to extinction, closure an execution away
pin this paper
feel the puncture
the saline coursing through you
the silence sure to follow
we know the lies you tell
before you’ve formed your words
now, the fall to the snap
the pull to the impact
the slice to the bone
the push to the flow
pin this paper over your heart

Hi. Not sure what you mean.
@PeterHammond what I was attempting to say was...life is not always 'pretty' and may be hard to look at, but we must still navigate with our heart! I may not always 'read,' stuff, the way the writer intended? As abstract is not my strong suit!
