PULSE

A conception
the first sound
of life. Maternal.
ba-bum...

A crush
that flash of awkward
awareness.
ba-bum, ba-bum...
connection
that intoxicating vibration
of two mirrored beings.

A crash
that deafening siren
of so many cells
hemorrhaging.
ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum...
collision
that painful reminder
of a controversial self. 

A constant
that slowing rhythm
in your ear. 
the only thing left
in the silence.
Ba-bum, Ba-bum, Ba-bum...
comfort
that familiar homeland 
of body and blood
each heartbeat
pledging allegiance
to Love.
