The Restless Heart

It was a year ago since he came out of hospital, he happened

to be there ill when they brought in a heart that had
belonged

to young woman who had been hit by a truck, and they gave
him

her heart. He was feeling fine now walked every day and ate
well,

but there was a sadness and in the night, he heard sobbing
and

could not go back to sleep again, but spent the night
watching old

you -tube film clips- and then one night he heard the voice
of

a woman who said “And then they put my heart in the cavity
of an

old man´s chest, it is not fair.” Yes, the old man thought
it isn’t fair

so he climbed up on his desk put a rope across a beam made a
noose

ready to do the right thing. Again the voice spoke; and now
he is going

 to kill me too. “He
removed the noose, no Saddam Hussein today,

instead he promised the young heart to go to hospital and
ask if they

could give him an older heart and put hers in a young body? the
voice

 said: “So I´m not
good enough for you, is that it?”
