THE LURE
1
She wears
her heart
on her left
breast, pink
as her nipple,
as her organdy dress,
and pierced by an arrow
that could be the hook
for whatever fish. Try
not to look
at it, she says, try
not to touch it.

Later she tells me that she wears her heart
to keep her students focused
on what she has to teach them.
