    It is just a pump.
    Something was wrong with her heart.
    My grandma is gone.

    fourteen summers
    the glue remains
    of a paper heart

    An aching sorrow
    Fluttered beats of anxious joy
    Rythm of my life

    Sudden chest pain disturbs
    Pity or last night’s burgers?
    The heart is complex
