“You have such a big heart”
my heart is big
is forgiving is my heart
and pleasing, too
oh, overgrown lusus naturae
swollen in my chest
overrun with stretch marks
accounting for their own
scarce square footage
of valves and blood and
love and understanding
grief is love
with nowhere to go
said someone somewhere sometime
you may be out of space but
my heart is big
always with a spare room
a bed made up
of clean sheets (your favorite)
waiting for you
