This is powerfully provocative. With your finger on the switch, it seems there is a painful participation towards the end result. The InSinkEratore may have brought the physical part of the heart to its early demise, but the heart is only partly physical, and not the largest part.

Thanks, mate. Not my finger on the switch!!!!! Yes, the physical aspect of the heart can be painful if it’s not functioning properly but the feeling/soul side can be excruciating when injured repeatedly! Glad you stopped by my boat

kind of scary and bloody — are you sad?

Life can be bloody sometimes. That’s why there’s always tomorrow and hope, that with maturity and years, perspectives are seen in a truthful light. First, the lies have to be recognized.

I know what you’re saying. Mine bleeds for you.
November 8th, 2011 at 11:17 am
I know you know. Sorry. Love you.

Pam – I really liked this poem! Fascinating concept. There is a life metaphor in there too. I enjoyed it.
November 8th, 2011 at 11:19 am
Thanks, Ron. Oh, yes, there is.

Ok am confused on this one… is it the heart…. a finger?
November 8th, 2011 at 11:20 am
The finger is on the switch, heart is in. . .
