a bone will creak
before it breaks
much like a dried branch
stepped on in summer
that makes the birds
go silent
but muscle

–a heart, for example–
will make no sound before
shattering like glass
or perhaps it is beyond
human hearing

floating and leaving no trace
a bone will creak
before it breaks
much like a dried branch
stepped on in summer
that makes the birds
go silent
but muscle
say
–a heart, for example–
will make no sound before
shattering like glass
or perhaps it is beyond
