A tree grows in a tree stump: I cleave your breast, rip it open, expose your heart.
Cloven

I cleave your breast,
rip it open, expose your heart.
I find a snug place within to grow
where once you flourished.

You welcome this change,
holding onto life long after death.
It's in the sheltering,
this last embrace.
