achilles heel heart
some say the twenty-four ribs
protect the heart
i say the heart is an achilles heel
always a target
pierced no matter the armor
even when opening & closing alone
in a small room
i say the twenty-four ribs is a terminal
where the heart awaits the final blade
& the rungs of arched bone
become a fighting cage at last
for worms to war over red shreds
