I know the beats of my heart
As subtle as clocks ticking.
I know the drum of my soul
Buzzing along in an irregular rhythm.
I know the whispers of my lashes
Smooth strokes like a magpie's flight.
I know the stars in my breath
Born from world starting reactions in my lungs.
And I know the ink on my hands
As though it was written across my brain.
I know me.
