Bloated Heart
this heart
challenged an ocean
only to beach on a cay
called indifference
now
bloated with ill emotion
no chance of rescue
to tempt karma's brutal swell
would be futile
this heart
dances like a drunken crab
swaying across the bleached sand
stumbling out into the surf
into the nest of an old sea hag
