Suffocation
Keep the eyes and palms in the sunlight.
Lest they deem you a petty thief.
Leave the brain in the blue of the shade.
Lest it overload, then quickly burn away.
As for the heart, keep it locked away.
Deep in a fortified ribcage.
Give the key to a cloud above a stream.
So, nobody can see or hear it scream.
Into a silent oblivion.
