like good bone

I found this line tonight, quite randomly. It absolutely needed to be read by me right now. Reading this tonight was grace. The way the second line will bounce through my mind is grace.

Heart breaks but mends
like good bone.
It's the vain will
wants to have been wounded deeper
burned by the cold moon to cinder. 

-Denise Levertov, from "Relearning the Alphabet"
