beating heart

out of the mire i am torn from
sprawled on the land of
marguerite flowers
that gracefully dance with
the wind
and the sound of my ticker
beat perpetuates the
malicious voices of unloved
unloving unworthy
and the prairie in my mind
bathes my skin and
colours my flesh
to hearken to the sound
of pulsing within.
