Heart/Matters - from Cheryl Penn

[Marie Wintzer]

 

The other day I broke into a Building. A deep scarlet Building, a human Habitation. That Building got broken in several times before, I could tell, even though it was very well kept. It was a Secret place.

 

 

It was agreeably Warm, I could hear the sound of a strong yet unsteady Beat. It was a Woman's Heart.

Walls/Cracks/Reconstructing
Every time

Sewing those organic Walls close fitted, Layer on Layer.

 

Walls are Paper - Heart
Thread is Blood - Flow
Veins, Arteries - the paths of life

 

 

The Builders of this House will never be out of work. Day after day the mechanics have to be revisited. New molecules are designed for a new Chemistry. Old ones recycled, keeping the Memory, important building blocks.

 

 

In the Heart of the House, an open book. It was All kept there. A poem with no Beginning and no End, the Typewriter not resting for one second.
Words beyond Words, a Font unique to everyone, the Language of the Heart.

 

 

Cheryl, I love the way you built up this Heart, it's a condensed little piece of Life, I can feel its beat when I hold it, really.
The Poetry is so FAB it would need a blog of its own to do justice to its richness. As ever, thank you for spoiling me mail after mail!

I still like it.

[Marie Wintzer]

Thank you!! Maybe your work brings out the best of me? It certainly strikes more than one chord. I like to just sit there and look at it, observe for a while, let it get used to its new home, and then the words just come naturally...

And the photos, you know I could spend all day :-))

P.S. Again - your photos and commentary - wow :-) They make me WANT to release a secret.   Thats vital to me in reacting to work - to do what it asks - that's what your photo's do. Thank you.

Marie, as usual, you show that Heart Matters. To not know what is generated by a soft beat under the skin, to not become intimately acquainted with this secret site. What is the point then?

[Marie Wintzer]

Thanks Sloan, I'll take the compliment. Cheryl will probably take it too. I was about to write that her poetry is up there with Dante and DW's :-)))

[De Villo Sloan]

I haven't ever the slightest idea what she's talking about, but I need her to keep saying it. This has to be one of your best ever, Marie.
