surely

molded to a dress, to a belief,
to an event, and to a legacy.

from the outside, a statue
of perfection, but on the inside

surely

butterflies flutter out of control

however fueled by certain conviction
in a vow, she would not waiver.

because her vow lasts longer
than a moment.

revolution

once around

all the gears are in motion
lubricated against grinding
so the sound of creation
is cool. you can hear the hum.

once again

the gears are getting older.
with every revolution
they lose some of their iron
and the teeth don't fit as neatly together.

once around again

the pieces don't fit well enough
to justify them any more
so they are replaced by new,
younger pieces.

and the revolutions begin anew. repeating themselves. around. and around again.

heart rate rounder

fit to the flow
fix to the follow up
lips up
close
closer


heart rate running
rampant
risk of failure
rumbling in your chest
churn
churning


don't take your time
speed up
stretch
the lips
until they touch


heart
beat
met
