Bolted,
screwed, and geared
it
beats with an artificial thump,
the
mechanical medical miracle
to
replace the broken heart.
Future
distress will be avoided
by
its ability to detect and deflect
any
inclination to fall in love.
The
rusty, creaking replica
of
a flesh and beating heart
keeps
anger alive and
the
calloused damning fate
Alone.
