knot so
not the heartstrings
themselves but
to vitiate
the tethers
to let snap back
from detours the arteries
to their course intended
as much a part of everything
as fire’s flow from well-sealed bellows
as Eucharist from chalice to your lips

excellent!
You use your theme and your abundant sense of humor here, to their utmost.
Strings and knots, negation and consumption…
Forgiveness is the ending and yet the title is a negation. A natural order versus (perhaps) a careful selection. Lots of warm and cool together like an interesting dessert.
