You broke my ribs to consume my heart.

Unaware you planted my love,

deep within your core to sprout.

The sapling of my love

began to tickle.

My vomit heart

will take root

elsewhere

Now.

    I had to read this a few times to grasp it all- your words and images are incredibly visceral. Really powerful.
