My Heart Is

My Heart Is . . .
Still ticking like a bomb.

Beaten like a dusty rug.
Still ticking like a bomb . . .

Unbroken; unwavering.
Still ticking like a bomb . . .

Not unbruised but
Still ticking like a bomb . . .

Not yet fatally wounded.
Still ticking like a bomb . . .

My Heart Is:
Strong but not hard,
 . . . still ticking like a bomb,
And safe in its own discontent.

My Heart Is still ticking like a bomb . . .
