my heart beat
sends shockwaves
rustling the sheets
as i lay staring
at the ceiling

i fear the
vibrations will
send the walls
crumbling down
all around me

this insatiable
sense of longing
pulverizing the
cage of ribs into
ivory splinters

only her embrace
can drive those
bone fragments deep
through the offending
organincessantlybeating

sleepless sheep
count foolish poets
tripping over their
own idiotic hearts
to help fall asleep

i run my fingers
over the tapestry
of puckered scars
searching for solace
inagoniesofyesteryear

my heart is a beacon
sendingsubsonicsignals
through irradiated
panes of dreamshatter
to echo into eternity

living in fear
somefoolishfuck
will try to answer
the sullen serenade
