[ NaPo 2018 ] Fractured

    
Romantic bones    
within this body of mine    
only recently unearthed
are still not fully formed    
   
though the ligaments about such    
have grown strong with attachment    
   
Unstrainable    
--ligature of Heart    
twining in our Venn Diagram    
   
Unfrayable      
---literature of Love    
coding spiraling word words    
   
Adamantine    
---my Love for you    
long in the marrow now    
calcified in the understanding:    
   
neither of Us    
were ever broken    
beyond healing    
   
Fractured    
we were brought  
together by design
