on meeting my (pace)maker
on meeting my (pace)makeri. ventricloquist
Yank my artery strings
for the cardiac puppet
show. My veins orate
speeches on the taboo.
My heart’s loudspeaker
drowns out the decibels
of my dendrites
ii. systolic phase
This time bomb thumps
to the thought of your lip
balm smacking its dynamite
against my kerosene. Your
coronary kisses electrify me
iii. said the thalamus to the atria
The orphanage
in my limbic system
harbors the hearts of
every guy who has
ever flirted with me
underneath its
goreboards
iv. arrhythmia absolved
Lysol my amygdala
until these infected
lobes relinquish the
imprisoned lovers
in each chamber
v. aortion clinic
Forsake
the jar of
hormones
that sits upon
my neck
"Yank my artery strings
