armour

armour

I want to curl up, purring, on your chest
so that if your heart arrests I can knead it
back to beating – and I know that it was
me who stalled its throbbing, so it is my right
(if I could only grow that miniscule)
to burrow beneath your breast-bone,
and seal that battered zone, so it can heal.
