Picture of Here

heart
       broken
heart
    frozen
stuck in place
try to erase
no going back
                disjointed
           ideas

place the hurt
          up on a shelf
study it
    analyze it

what is it?

like a painting
someone decided
was genius
but looks to everyone else
    like rubbish
makes no sense

         say what you want
it just will not die

chosen
mistaken
and
                what is it good for?

the tree has no leaves
I thought it would have
             pears
                     or apples
something edible
        anyway
now look at it
might as well have been
burnt to a
                    crisp
all thin
and
charcoal-y
maybe we can break
off a piece
and draw a picture
                of where we are
