"Tingle"
My Heart has been asleep.
Boa constrictor
coiled --
squeezing
with all his strength.
Heart numb,
there is no feeling
constrict --
tighter, tighter --
I cannot breathe.
He releases my Heart;
he does not want it
any longer.
Heart still asleep --
I cannot move.
To move is to feel pain.
Heart mangled --
he slithers away,
so unfeeling --
he cannot love.
But slowly,
light, dark,
light, dark,
Heart begins -- ever so slowly
to tingle.
