or be done
heart after heart
used once before
along with you-
some may use
help over time.
keep some taken
from the heart-
as often as
your blood hard
walls may need.

Wow. Great ending.
I don’t want to blow your cover but surviving a heart event makes for mighty interesting work from Dustin.
thanks.. 🙂 so far these have been erasure from a booklet the hospital gave me. i thought it might be a good way to work within a ‘theme’…
That bit of info makes this a doubly fascinating piece. I enjoyed it before I knew it was erasure, that adds another level to my appreciation. Very cool.
Love the use of the dash at the syllable breaks…..brilliant !
So much in this poem.
I love a good resilience story, thanks for sharing!
