The Heart of the Matter

Deep within are buried
the unmentionables where
kept under lock and key
they blend and defend . . .
The Heart of the Matter.
It takes a lifetime or
is it a series of lifetimes
to find the lock that fits the key
that opens the secret door to . . .
The Heart of the Matter.
Like an archaeological dig
layers of earth cover and then reveal
old memories built one upon another.
Handled with great care they lead to . . .
The Heart of the Matter.
Then like ancient artifacts valued now
but not then, the unmentionables are
placed behind a door locked with the key.
To keep them safe within . . .
The Heart of the Matter.
Art: Retour de Voyage, Leonor Fini, 1985
