The Far Side of a Heart

In the cosmos
of the body; the
heart is half-
shrouded. In
the darkness
of the far side.
So what one sees
is a half heart,
pumping, expanding,
contracting,
wheezing, stopping.
And invisible
veins exploding
into view. The
darkness gulps
all the sound too;
chaos of life lining
the funereal quiet.
The Far Side of a
Heart is shrouded in
darkness; it stayed
too far away
from itself.
