Heartbeat

 

My ear. Is on the carpet,

On my floor.

I am listening

For the heartbeat

Of my house.

It is dark

Outside my house.

But it feels. Darker.

Inside.

I do not hear the heartbeat

Of my house.

Has it died?

I wonder almost automatically.

Houses don’t have heart beats

I recall.

My hand is on my belly

Feeling for a heartbeat,

Or a kick.

Does it feel rounder today?

I really don’t want

To hear a heartbeat

From within.

I like this, the way I relate to it is in a perspective from which I see many things in life.
