Carve You Out of this Heart - by Teresa Laye

again

racing

pacing

wakes me,

at three

dug deep

you remain

in, under

rapid

pumping

muscle

viscera

veins,

tangled

arteries

cavernous

chambers

emptied,

except

for you

wandering

widow-like

room by room

please

I want

to sleep

need

words

tools

to carve you

out of

this heart
