the creditor

i've painted and powdered and strapped down my heart
laid down the lines of my rapture
i've buckled and broken and knelt on the ground
and fingered the points of my fractures

she's tilted and torn and completely undone
all seams that demanded her mending
she's borrowed and begged and humbled her heart
to the debtor demanding its lending.
