A peripatetic heart requires two pairs of shoes,
both of them red, both of them dangerous; two
hats that can option feathers on a whim, and two
dresses: one red silk plunged to interest the roving
eyes of a Spanish lyricist, and the other, your basic
black, shoulder-capped, tea-length number able to
carry off Sunday morning's guilt.
Though none of these disguises will be necessary
once the nakedness of said heart hits the west coast
of Ireland and wraps itself in Basho's idea of the familiar.
