Poesy

Here's something I put up on Facebook (originally as a reply to someone else's thing) in March that I should have put here:

Hear the beating of the heart,Deadly heart!What a world of agony that music does impart!How the beating, beating, beating,Like a watch wrapped up in cotton.'Neath the flooring, 'neath the seating,All my plans it is defeatingWith a pleasure misbegotten;Going thump, thump, thump,With a sort of muffled bump,Oh the tachycardiation of his disembodied part!And the beats, beats, beats, beats, beats, beats, beats-Stop the roaring! Tear the flooring! There's his heart!
