Skirmishes

Warehouse hearts in us are cardiac miracles

Our blood lifelines

are forced to withstand skirmishes

Red tissue masks

Black marks

that need liniment trim

Anatomical hearts need electricity

But the chambers and valves click

to forever screams

Right hook then stave, left hook then block

The intricate engineering

is barely seen; life and death are at stake daily

in our angiocentric wars

Signals transmit

alarms and psalms

Nourishment wins out

God sustains

We can demonstrate in part

Jehovah’s heart
