a discussion of the heart in two years

was his heart discovered,
(at last)
or was it left in its destroyed womb,
a capillary burst
jousting with iron equations?

perhaps it was born too late,
this heart
forever in combat
against some wooly beast
gnawing at arteries.

or maybe it should have been
placed upon
a green-hilled fortune
in awe of
the screaming innocents
below.

they are unaware
of the explosions
in their chests.
