near her
trying to teach hers
the rhythm
and she wonders why it bleeds.

the wings
of an unwilling spirit
it's eyes are glum with
self-dread.

deeper into her chest
promising herself that-
if she makes the hole big enough
a new heart will fit.

if only to eradicate bloodshed.
scene.5/ACT.6:
celia's heart falls.
