Snare Drums

Skin tightens in my heart.
The taughtness channels a sharper riff
Bi dum Bi da Bi dum Bia da
I write back "I know you,"
so afraid I really have no capacity to fit those
words inside
A second heart
tightens against the rhythm of
my words
so afraid there was no one left to really say them
Bi dum Bi da Bi dum Bia da.
