Consider

[indar]

a blood pump, not much bigger
than a fist, burdened
with matters concerning
love, memory, discernment:

a ridiculous proposition, except--
except for the stories,

stories of experiences shared between
donors and recipients.

Explain that.

Cardiologists and religious mystics
speak different languages:
scientific, visionary,
equations methods, cosmic yearnings.

The human heart--symbol of a higher truth,
a remarkable organ,
part of the impossible yet possible
drawn from the rocks of earth,

bears memory of water, dreams of flight,
the lands, the forests, the temples of our ancestors.

Brilliant---

drawn from the rocks of earth,

bears memory of water, dreams of flight,
the lands, the forests, the temples of our ancestors.
