Raisins

Have you ever had ropes tied to the inside of your ribs?

A single rope for a single rib,

All tied back to your heart,

Contracting all the time,

And as time passes,

You could feel your chest collapsing upon itself,

Like a single grape drying up,

Till it shrivels,

And its but a raisin,

Did you know that the heart looks a bit like a raisin?

I feel those ropes contracting,

To where you are,

Every day…

And I wait for the day,

When I collapse back upon myself,

Then I shall have my heart back.
