Thump-Thump
You hear that?
Your heart beating
Slow as a steady rhythm of karate chops
To your backside
Pumping blood continuously
Like gas flowing to the tank of your car
Thump-Thump
You hear that?
Your heart beating
Fast as a hammer pounding the wall
Is it because you’re having a panic attack
From the negative thoughts crashing your brain?
Or are you making sweet love?
Thump-Thump
You hear that?
Your heart beating
Listen to it
It’s the sound of life
A five-letter word
That holds meaning to the pain or joy you feel inside
