alternative anatomy

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

the heart has an eye
that can be opened, to see joy
in all its colors

and the eyes are mouths
hungry for beauty

but the mouth
is just a mouth
that is most beautiful

closed
and smiling

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    like this as it seems to me that it’s about introversion. it’s just a take on it and it could have another spin altogether.

    the mouth houses the tongue – and the mind/emotions control it!
