Hush, Little Pulse
I hear the song of metal red blood
the pounding of your veins
the wind, life, breathing in your skin
Beep beep beep
goes the machine
threatening
every second
that it will
STOP
thump thump thump
goes the pulse in your skin
softly beckoning
barely there
proving you're still
HERE
thudthudthudthudthud
goes your heart
beating
fast
racing no one but
TIME
I hear the scream of a world, spinning
the cries of eternity, deaf, unknown
the heart, life, does it function
beyond a muscle pumping miracle
any more?
the pounding of your veins
the wind, life, breathing in your skin
Beep beep beep
goes the machine

goes the pulse in your skin
softly beckoning

proving you're still
HERE
thudthudthudthudthud
goes your heart
beating
fast
racing no one but
TIME
I hear the scream of a world, spinning
the cries of eternity, deaf, unknown
the heart, life, does it function
