Your heart’s machinery
must be a mess
of soldiers
all on the same side
trying to keep formation
but breaking rank
with increasing
regularity
when one goes assassin
and the rest spend
their energy
quelling
no one speaks
to this as admission
leads to admonition
so all keep quiet
and steadfast
each illustration
of your broken heart
coming quicker than the last
