Heart Broken – for 55 word challenge
Faith and Trust
Once broken
Gouges tender
Belief’s innocence
Hurts rent
Tender spirit
heart bleeds
Crimson tears
In quick
Replacement
Cynicism fills
Created void
Subsequent
Overtures by clever
Perpetrator thereafter
Do not cut it
Becoming forever
Suspect by a broken
Heart, turning
Deaf thereof
Emotionless,
Unreceptive, heart
Thus broken internalizes
Agonizing over everything

Afternoon Observations
Returning post lunch
Break, espied unusual
Sights in suburbia
Parked at hungry
Municipal meters
Were these cars
One declared, “Eat
Your heart out Emily
I am now a daddy”
Smack behind gloater was this
Declaration on First Responder Van
“We save lives, what do you do?”
I thought what have I saved? Diffidently
Admitted maybe a suicidal lady, countless
Big small crawling flying creatures sundry
Acknowledged failure about weight control
Chiding self thus shuffled past a compact
Black car carrying a black coffin on top
The sequence of sightings was interesting
A birth, a life saver and homemade hearse
Life punctuated from exclamations to full stop
Realizing this to be sum total of our lives, does this
Make me a presumptuous Buddha of suburbia? No
I said to self, have long way to go before I get there
Outwardly I may express extreme joy or grief
Inwardly my emotional waters flow calmly, now
I play destiny’s dealt hand with equanimity
