The Recepticle : One of a kind

Recepticle: One of a kind It was a thoughtful gift in the shape of her heart Symbolic inscription- "Love's Everlasting Hopes" kept next to the front door In shadow, in half-light. She kept her car keys there. Small change, new receipts pins and paperclips, pens lipstick, bangles, spare things... Simple concave, convex Moulded mind-heart shape Porcelain pale shadow Clear intent left it there Till the time came when smirk smile black hate eyes stepped inside sleight of hand side-swipe flick despise, devalue, discard done with splitting, slitting pound of flesh sacrifice- So easy to replace, no end to his supplies She only had One Heart for him, no Big Surprise, a common vessel trade for his communal use Belly feels deep pity for its now shattered state, She drops to hands and knees Picks up each fragile piece bright blood drips from fresh cuts thin red lines smear love read, Torn vessel spills plasma tears, love is precious life Dustpan holds bits and pieces... Impulse to throw away Hesitation- thoughtful ancient wisdom whispers, revalue all for gain Again, a gain, again She knows what she can do... Fix it with liquid gold Now it gleams in the dark.
