Magpie Tales: All My Secrets

Venus de Milo with Drawers, 1936, Salvador Dali

All My Secrets

My mind, my heart,

my gut responses, my breath,

even my angled knee.

All you want to know

is here, half hidden,

though I had hoped to shelter

inner parts of myself covered

in marble, white and cold.

But you can find my essence

with a pull on soft handles

that reveal all in parts.
