When I read this the first time, I made a connection between the capitalized words, alter and heart. The first word, Altar, is described as being broken. Then, the second capitalized word, heart, is tied back to the word altar and back to the word broken because a “broken heart” is a pretty common expression whereas a “broken alter’ is not. So throughout the poem whenever I read the word heart, I was mentally adding broken heart. Did anyone else notice this?
