heart beat

one:     Numbers pound
two:     against the in-seams
three:   of my skin,
four:    rushing through my veins
five:     like miniscule boats
six:       on one-way trips,
seven:  etching their histories
eight:   into my anatomy.
nine:    Every second-by-second
ten:      timeline stops
eleven:when I see
              you
