Poem by Doniell Cushman

My New Heart

2/6/2022

My first heart was broken so many times
I couldn't bear to identify it
And when I returned to do a teaching observation at my old high school
Choir-man remembered me as
the girl who was always crying

My first heart questioned "why me?"
I no longer do
I've chosen what to care about and it's no longer over why

Philosophy asks why
Philosophers ask why not
I simply ask how
And when I really want or need it when I ask
Determines if

My new heart asks how
