Bring Me Her Heart

Bring Me Her Heart is an eclectic and vivid presented collection of harmonic and confluent poetry drawn from the lyrical work of Sarah Getty. The Unveiling Of Truth: Sargent, sketch for a mural: If Truth sat on a chair, not/the ground. If the drape revealed/more than the bumps of brow, nose,//breast and knee. If that gesture --/hands head-high and still under/the veil, ready to throw back//the black-on-white charcoaled folds --/were not so like our nightmares/of the sheeted dead, rising.//If she looked less like she might flap/and fly, albino vampiress,/half-blind in this dim room's light.//If Salome had not danced./If Truth were not a woman.//If we knew of cauls.
