Heart truths

Sandpaper love

is a heart-bleeding caress

just like chiselling love.

They give out heart-shred: 

little pieces of forever 

and memory

the collateral of crafting.

One degree too tender

one degree too harsh

and heart-death results.

Yes, delicate it is

this matter of loving.

[from the collection 'Stray kites on string-less days']
