Not Broken
I understand it feels broken
but only an aortic aneurysm,
or some other medical complication
can callout its appointed hour.
It is not defunct nor done for,
unless it has been ripped out of you
with a stone knife
by some blood-crazed Aztec priest
while you were still alive.
It was never a thing to be sacrificed.
It is not poisoned unless you poison it.
If it’s still beating
then it is still wired-up to your soul,
still the time bomb it was created to be,
still working for your eyes to open
to an even greater love and reality.
Your heart will break
when it forsakes you for a higher mission
until then -
take heart.
