Heartbreaker
by Alison McKenzieHis face is hardness
Angled bricks and chisels
Not a crumb in sight
But Jesus to touch it
Just one stroke of one fingertip
The quivering thought of it
Concrete stare
But if only to bore my soul
Penetrate the exterior
Burst into me
I would absorb that fire
Burn by it
Layer upon wall
Upon cliffs and crags
I would scale just to breathe
His vicinity
The waves of sensual rhythms
Crushing me into oblivion
So happily I would shatter
My heart into fragments
He can tuck into his pockets
And cast into the rage
He does not understand
And lace his pieces together
Until time fades into peace
Until that heartbreaker
Knows only whole
