Cerberus

by D Gregory Smith

Who can tell me what thing will touch my heart?

The human heart loves to be touched

yet mine is often unmoved-

not of itself guarded,

-I can imagine it reaching-

but by anger

and resentment

and ignorance

and fear.

All mine.

    Okay, as a writer I have the prerogative- I changed the title and added a word, “guarded” in line 4.
    Makes so much more sense now….
