a heart- 

               beats

a tune

all in tune

 

the sound like

Strauss tapping

down my spine

 

my words 

are chaotic

syllables

 

my blood thumps a response

 

once upon a timeless night

the lonely

sound of snow

ticked

against unwashed windows

 

deep in the limbs

sap pulsates

as a bird drums the tree trunk
