unbreakable

'you break my heart',
says a world,
carrying its suffering
like a beggar
holding his bowl out
to every home;
until it pauses
in its windswept tracks
and listens
to the waves lashing
the shores of reason,
when it suddenly
comes to know
that a heart can never
break or be broken,
a heart can only explode
into tiny starbursts
of an unbreakable love
that simply cannot be
held back from itself.
