There are those who say
His heart was big
as a library lion's.
Look.
It held back nothing -
There is inventory, boxes
of good.
And what I say is:
This heart
meant everything
to his liver
and his lungs
and all his
other parts
especially
his tongues
Which were several,
yet he was
Mum
on all matters
of this heart, and yes,
It was difficult for him,
the plain language,
putting the word to love.
