Bat-flying-Pulse

Fear pulling me as I glower over what appears to be a grand canyon's clutch -- where we come from vs. how we got here. A chasm where identities are lost and false promises rein -- innocent.

Hush, hush

Don’t say any more

Don’t scare -- tucker me out : any more

-- Heart don’t gush;

For fear swift and fleeing, bringing my pulse

Light as a feather, the flutter

Go through veins with a gentle brush

--But hush, hush for hearing that pulse -- TOo LOUD!

Scarcity; specialization; diversity; self-sufficiency

It’s a heart break, pitter-patter -- two chambers in the heart

Hush; hush -- don’t forget they’re one

Don’t -- don’t -- do-n’t; separate my heart -- DO not

Don’t - split it; forget it -- too many times

A heart disdained; for all the humanity

In bad veins

-- BaT, veinS......flowing, crazy

Remember, -- me

--Do you recall....

On one Summer’s last drawl --

Sitting, lake, lagoon, Sun, heat

Cards on a table, paper plates

Serving spades and diamonds

And dirt -- And ground 

Remember,

We dug up those holes; covered those bodies,

Filled the grounds with sprouting flowers

-- flashy petals?

-Then paper, paper --PAper…years later became...

Inevitable; invaluable; ineffable -- DIAMONDs,

But we were just digging in the ground and you --

Forgot; two ol’ pals

Play -- play -- play-mates

In the kitchen, of Earth, making mud pies

Bud pies

YOU forgot….holding those cards…

-- YOUR now holding diamonds and spades

What about mud pies and paper and flowers before….

Because the heart has two chambers:

-- Specialization; self-sufficiency.

-- SO….DO-n’T,

Forget

About Me--

Hush, hush

I’ll catch up like a wave;

This soft pulse -- doesn’t match

What’s inside

Hush….Hush, I'm taking in strides

Hush, hush...it's waking inside...

But it'll catch up --

-- To [ ]-

-- Faster; fast; fear -- Terror; strangling

Bat FLy...Forward, march

Soft pulse, brush in veins

Racing, soft, -- won't

--Hurt

So LOUD

Echoing in the chamber

I---....YOu -- DoN't have To Recall:

I will -- for you

Author's Note

I'm not certain what to say yet because I'm not sure how it'll be taken yet. I'm looking for (some) feedback

If that was your aim with the start and stop, jarring and going rhythm, it succeeded. The fear comes through quite clearly. Thanks for sharing. /Frederick.
