The Heart
what happens to a broken heart?
does it melt like lipstick
trapped in a car on
the hottest day of the year?
or does it implode
like a star in great fear?
does it shatter like confused glass?
or bust and fall over--
like a runner ending last?
maybe it withers
like an old thread.
or maybe it's just dead.
~Ode to Mr. Langston~
