Thump.Thump.Thump
Sixty beats per minute.
Thump.Thump.Thump
It’s like the clock is ticking in another language
Locked inside my chest.
Breathe in.Breathe out
Suck in the carbon dioxide
Blow out the oxygen
Until you
.just.can’t.take.it.anymore.
Thump…Thump…Thump
But that’s not quite right
Is it?
Cough up the glitter from your lungs
[Let it out]
Gasp & gulp the chemical air
[That’s right baby,
Hold it down.]
Thump.Thump.Thump
The pendulum swings
Marking time in my ribcage
And years under my eyes.
