...72 beats...

[guppyiii]

72 beats per minute.
Each beat holds a thought.
Memory and the future
blending into a flow
enough to get caught.
Involuntary.
A river of heat and slick blood.
Constant beating verse.
The prayer of my own being.
Knees bent to vibration.
Solid and so hot.
Revolutionary.
Each beat pounds rhythm of seed.
Many seeking hold.
Roots embracing strong to earth.
Base seeks consistency,
defied by the wind.
Evolutionary.
What falls away, only chaff.
Heart remains stolid
amidst flowing waters
of crosscurrent beliefs.
No flow can sway me.
Luminary.

I am spent.
