HEART
by Sally Bliumis-Dunn
She has painted her lipshibiscus pink.The upper lip dipsperfectly in the center
like a Valentine heart.It makes sense to me --that the lips,the open
ah of the mouthis shaped more like a heartthan the actual human heart.I remember the first time I saw it --
veined, and shinyas the ooze of a snail --if this were whatwe had been taught to draw
how differently we might havelearned to love.
