Dénouement

denouement image

 

I learned a lesson almost

three days ago

An overdue tutorial

about bodies

and souls

and human hearts

And pragmatism

which knows nothing of the

psychology of love

As if there is such a thing

 

Never give of yourself

before given to

Never presume that an

offer given you

is the offer you thought it would be

before the fine print is read

And never be surprised at the

dénouement of the human heart

 

Because the human heart is a

simple thing

when you understand it

It beats

It bleeds

It breaks

 

And sometimes it gives

when it should not want to

    Excellent introspection. Wondrous medical photo. I love dissecting the viscera and the thoracic cavity. Your self-dissection is admirable and beautiful.
