HEART MONITOR

Heart Monitor 

The smiles become lines 
the laughter becomes cracks 
every argument 
every embrace 
mistakes 
forgivenesses 
all become wrinkles in love 
steel in the hair 
the bones may be brittle 
the flames gone 
but the embers run deep 
and warm the tissue paper flesh 
of hands still held
