Heartpains

Issues of speech sounds
(something like a promise)
fall suddenly, helplessly
into ruins--
like a figure carved in crystal
becoming 
unexpectedly aware
of the sphere of mortal life--
the shards spill a haphazard course
thrusting into the area
of least resistance.

Whoa! Hold my ponies. Did you just? Yes, you did! And with delight. You are so strong. I love this!

Fast paced and fun to read, Namit.
