I tried surgery to get you out
Plucked you like slivers from my skin
but you were deeper
Bumps here, there
belying what lay beneath
Foreign bodies wound
so tightly in my flesh it was
hard to say where they
began and ended
I cut them out myself
burned the pieces
there was no one to do it for me
deeper still
You were in my heart
And how could I take you from there?
My heart learned to beat
around you
It could not function now on
its own
