painting pictures with breaths
soundless with blind determination
hope caressed by the gentle exhalation
feeling pretty even in death
eyes closed feeling the fluttering heart
beats stopping at moments so divine
wings spread
heart open wide
feeling the fingers slipping inside
grasping it firmly
tearing it away
eating it thoughtfully
my fate sealed once again
time to get a frozen heart from the freezer
connect it carefully
it may be awhile
but it will beat again
become fully alive and warm
when the right hands caress it still
where are those hands now
because my chest hurts
and my breath is cold
