The Beat Poem by Maureen Alikor

The Beat



My heart pants
the beat is abnormal
my chest rises and falls
I fear a heart attack

It is audible
thump! thump! ! thump! ! !
is all you can hear
I fear a heart attack

If my heart were yours
would you stop the beat?
If the heart wasn't mine
I would want it to beat on

You make the heart beat
what right have you?
