DIY Heart Repair
or, Even Now Someone Is Somewhere Daydreaming — About You
an instructable in verse
O being human hurt O bitter fool in pain
You who saw too much to want to ever see again
Perhaps a harmless riddle can distract you from your fear:
The heart was once named courage. Suppose yours wasn’t broken bad —
As an experiment. What if things — weren’t — quite as sad
— they might not be as sad as they could be — dear —
Sincere, perhaps unsure, this sometimes cure, if practicéd as Art
can make the ugly weight of loneliness stop fucking with your heart
trade any sweeping gesture for a kinder patient touch
As choices become habit, so is Fate reborn today
lo — que será, será — no es siempre porque
— because — what will be will be— not so much
Your fantasies, your thoughts, let them loyal serve your Will
This world is vaster & more intricate than it ever has been full
& —What will be, might just — be what — could
y— que será, será — lo que — se podría
a veces el milagro que suceda debería
Let Love’s sometimes miracle happen as it should
But beware! You’ll find this skill’s best reach effective shown & actual,
Be sure in mind to well test each selected counterfactual
If your virtue & your patience be but unafraid — & true —
You’ll find the holy secret is in how to learning tell
seem from seeing — be from being — knowing well
the only one who you can trust to be that brave is you
