fixing things

she can fix
anything.
leaky toilets, washers
with bad belts.
televisions
that won't come alive.
computers
gone dead.
the sink that drips.
with her tool belt on.
a wrench in hand,
hammer and drill,
a manual, a light.
she kneels to the machine
and goes at it,
making what's gone wrong.
right.
but of course, the heart's
another thing.
