Won't you help support DayPoems? The Heart Before the ProbeBy William Brendan McPhillips21st CenturyAnd now the stuff about the heart I thought, The abstract stuff we tout, emote, and feel, Seems somehow out of tune with tubing brought From groin arterially through the seal Of ancient ignorances, metaphor Can lose its magic, science pushes through The heart's, once secret, now unguarded door, To see what metamorphoses can do. The poets talk of love, of god, of grace, Of angels, stars, and habitations we Delight to put in words for lips to trace, Again, when lips, the heart fed, cease to be; But, now is not the time to abdicate The heart's sweet beating back the fog of fate.
