"Did not deal... at the time"

Slice the heart out- back then-
at least: 'quick disconnect' from it...
with whatever was handy, at the time.
slice the heart up - like the Easter leg of lamb-
bleed into oblivion...

On the other hand, today- drawing of
a meditation, on' fountains' to cool and color the air. It got
transposed with an image of green shaded relief, for hot afternoons.
leaf shaped (oddly) heart shaped, pool-
and at the end, a realization the yard design
complete w/ overhead trellis- was vaguely heart shaped too !
