Her heart moves in
with my heart.
At dinner she stares down
without appetite at the roses
clotting on the plate.
I ask how her day was.
She shrugs – her heart
doesn’t consider
languishment and pain
to be subjects
for dinner conversation.
But sometimes it wonders
just what took place
before it got here
that night trembles
under the table,
waiting for scraps.
