to the moon

okay, so now
you know that
your heart is
not made of glass
that can shatter
into a million pieces,
or stone, or wood,
or steel, or even
a liquid that can
evaporate in
extreme heat or
freeze when
life gets cold
and unbearable. no.
none of that. your
heart is made
of something else
entirely.
it's made of
some sort of
vulcanized space
age rubber that
can withstand all
conditions and
rebound and regroup
and love all
over again. it's
capable of going
to the moon
and getting you
safely back
home again.
