Her Heart, My Heart
move a beat binding
pulse together,
two halves holding
the tailed ricochets
making rhythm this
romantic headache,
a
hammering allure,
and
ambidextrous adoring,
we could equally,
elope a pre-set,
picking the pace-
a metronome dragging,
the default off-beat,
out,
in,
every,
sense,
I steal the second-
with her heart beating-
with my heart beating-
time this juxtaposition,
giving us a hand to hold.
