Fragile (or The Day After Christmas)

Shallow sips of air

then breath comes in sighs.

Palpitations reside in the throat

effectively obstructing the flow of words.

Inflamed sinew pulls on bones

rendering them suseptible to snapping like twigs.

A dull ache in pit of the stomach

grows and contracts in intensity.

And a hollow place in the heart

knows what is missing;

knows it may never be be filled.
