Heart And Lungs
Glaciers hang inside my heart. The ones who inhabit it shake from the cold. My warm blood disguises my cold heart so I only feel warmth. I don’t even know it’s frozen until my heart breaks and the glaciers fly out and stab me all around, leaving my veins ice cold.
My lungs are on fire. Burning branches break off and fall. Fall onto my hard ribs. Breath by breath I find that it’s shortening. I spit out flames and inhale their fumes.
Thaw out my frozen ventricles.
Extinguish the burning lungs.
Please.
