I felt in my chest today

my heart beating beyond my chest

I thought it might rest between your ribs

but I found it had not lodged there

--I hear whispers between my shoulders

the wind whistling in my vertebrae

and I watched,

and bled

it pounding before me 

into the empty air

if you hear the drumbeat in the distance

don't hesitate to stomp

here, I am singing for you, also.

tore itself free--of its bony cage

thrumming in the open air--
