Heartbeat MAG
When we all sat under the sky
darkening with spilled
tar
When we were laughing like
drunks and really, on that
blanket on the grass that night,
really we were drunk, on
Pepsi and Ring Pops and cheese
curls
When you kept looking over and
our eyes collided like satellites and
I was cold, it was getting
cold
When I stood and my feet,
they slapped against my flip-flops and
kicked up parking lot gravel, I was
jangling my car keys, I needed a
hoodie
When I could hear them all in the
distance, quiet and then bursts like
fireworks of laughter, and I turned and you
were right there next to me
unsure
When you so gently like cotton
pulled me in and kissed me, that’s
When my heart
beat.
