Head, Heart by Lydia Davis
Sometimes events converge at seemingly the worse times. These past months have been difficult, but this past week even more testing…sigh. But of course, we must all move on. I read this poem and even though it is sad…it is hopeful.
Head, Heart by Lydia Davis
Heart weeps.
Head tries to help heart.
Head tells heart how it is, again:
You will lose the ones you love. They will all go. But even the earth will go, someday.
Heart feels better, then.
But the words of head do not remain long in the ears of heart.
Heart is so new to this.
I want them back, says heart.
Head is all heart has.
Help, head. Help heart.
