Heart walls
To Pass Through

de L.M.M.

though she has a key
to my front door
she has a way of behaving always
as if she does not fit

always about her, a certain futility
suggesting she cannot, she will not

this coupled with
my having grave doubts

are the keys to our hearts given
or by some mystery, acquired

does who enter do so
because we cannot keep them out
come from other worlds, a past life
with the password

Sometimes I'd wonder, Esquire, if you and I are in the same intellectual league. I'm always struggling - being urged - to keep up. I always feel proud when I'm able to impress you. Your prose inventions especially, are utterly and constantly impressive.
