"The Heart’s Eye"

When the heart’s eye
speaks to you,
you listen, just as 
when the heart’s eye
sees how it all is,
you feel, touched
in the mind

the heart’s eye 
is an overworked muscle
working overtime 
a pearl of wisdom
eating you inside out
like a carnival eats 
its exposed clowns

eventually it stops
tick-tock
tick-tock
no one truly suspects
the depths of its 
depraved covert nature 
incognito, it’s a time bomb

some Lewis clock
on a well-lit fob watch
down the rabbit hole 
we go journeying 
with smiling hatters
who are really Jabberwocks
the heart’s eye is a Red Queen

residing inside 
Love, exists, resists,
concedes for all its worth 
light and dark treacly stuff
it’s a messy business
it ain't clean, 
all said and done

when heads 
roll off 

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
