Intertwined Mishaps

Pulsating
Beating
Thump-thump-thumping
&
Rat-a-tat-tatting
Rose spatter on my cheeks
As I,
By I I mean
me
By me I mean
Well...
The universe shifts
Two inches there
&
Four inches back
How far have we come?
Age old question
No answer
No answer in sight
Out of sight
Loss of light
&
I hold tight
The
Thump-thump-thumping
&
Rat-a-tat-tatting
Ricochets off of your chest
Bones quiver
Just like tiny tadpoles
Shimmy & shake
Getting no where really
Just like us
By us I mean
We
By we I mean
Well...
