***Hearts***
***
*We must not play with hearts
—for who can calculate
what they are capable of 
or what becomes of them*

*How they slip, change shape,
practice forgetfulness and purge,
surrendering pleasure with pain
as unsteady burdens of memory*

*Or how they grow wayward, wild 
—the wounded become wounding
and, in order to keep alive,
treacherous in the trenches*

*Until they are unrecognizable
to their owners, brokers or breakers
and what began as deception
proves to be a self-delusion*

*The heart has its treasons
that reason does not know—
why it must cheat, lie, even die...
just to stand a chance at rebirth.*
