I BROUGHT A HEART TO A SWORDFIGHT

By Ash Alexander

I brought a heart to a swordfight

Freshly plucked

My own

I admit that I knew

On some level

My loss was inevitable

But still,

When the blade pierced

Two of my four chambers

I found myself grateful

That I had kept the organ soft

And yielding
