Ivy Alvarez: That second heart



I cannot accept it. How can
one be ready for this gift? My
belly cannot curve to tightness,
my skin cannot hold a drum (that

second heart). I cannot accept
it - limbs bursting buds. I cannot
have the end to blood. I cannot
bear your blood, child, and I think of

you, often.


Ivy Alvarez was formerly reviews editor of Cordite.
