Illegible writings upon my heart
by your hen scratching,
are inscribed with indelible ink.
Secrets that will be carried forever
interpretation belongs to me.
My heart knows how to read
your thoughts…

I just love the last two lines in this and yes the words of the hen scratching sound quite painful. But then the heart doesn't always have wonderful thoughts. There are sad and painful times also.
Thank you so much for your entry

this sounds a little painful. Having a hen scratching the heart even figuratively sounds like it would always be painful. But maybe you had a different meaning that I couldn't see, either way it is well for many meanings to come from it,
great thought you've penned.
