And he is doing it again,

Recreating

This enlivening within me.

Dissolving.

Peeling petals back one by one.

I try to hold it down,

Keep suppressing

The fluttering inside.

I close my eyes;

I sense

Him checking my pulse;

His fingers upon my

Wrist;

His

Ear upon my chest.

Feeling,

Listening

To see if i am still here

And i am grateful.
