Heart Valve

Science cannot discover
Nor even uncover
What the human heart has wrought

When the liquid matter flows
        and mixes
          and fixes
Something broken
        by hurt unspoken
Love is not a token
of admission
to an experimental
rendition
When but love brings on that golden glow
Even a fellow of the scientific method will know
Within that mysterious muscle.
