My clay heart

Clay Heart, August 2024


                    My heart is imperfect, but it's mine; 
                        there is not another like it.
                    
                    My heart has fissures and fault lines around the edges
                        signs of years lived and brokenness too
                        yet, it is being healed from within.
                    
                    My heart is asymmetrical
                        and holds all my joys 
                        and sorrows in balance. 
                    
                    My heart was fashioned in love
                        and made for love.
