Burning Heart

How does it feel?

Cauterised and future proofed 

– think dissected frog and battery cables –

now better than before,

so, they say, so they implore.

 

How do you feel?

How am I supposed to feel?

Better when he comes,

and gives my heart a proper work out.

 

Better when I can breathe 

and my hair stops hurting.

Better when I can feel

and my world stops spinning.
