In Love, In Rage

I
If you tell me to love you
I shall gift you a poem.
A poem about a heart break.
I fetch my heart out of my pocket
and throw it
like a stone hurled in a protest.
II
My heart is a stone.
Not one that I’ve swallowed,
not one that fills my pocket
to sink me in oceans of sorrow,
but one,
to be pelt in rage
to enzyme a revolution.
