Godsend

Maybe she is a god-send

Maybe God knew that I would love her before I existed

Before she even existed

I would like to think so 

Because I swear that our aortas are connected

That I can feel her where I need her most

That even through distance I can feel her having premature ventricular contractions

That our hearts beat alternatively yet simultaneously 

That we make love melodically and harmonically 

Like good jazz music on the summer nights of 1957

She is the Miles Davis to my Coltrane

I like how you use scientific language poetically here, it's beautiful. I also like the final line and the music it brings to mind, I just want to see it connected to something earlier in the poem. Maybe connecting the beat of hearts and songs, idk. I like it as is.
