give

I reach into your chest
      push muscles
                  flesh
      crack ribs
                  broken
fingers
      pull
                  cavities
      pulse
                  veins
detach
      unzip
                  skin
      insert heart
                  arteries
cling blood
      lungs
                  gasp
      toward heart
                  static
buzz
      through nerves
                  open
      lips oxygen
                  splinter
holds
      chest
                  your half-
      heart I
                  stop
