On the Decline of heartbeats and

Breathe in and in
Without breathing out.

The overflow.
You’d be drowned in a pool of air.

The clatters you hear
are the news breaking

Upon your heart.
You’re attacked.

You’re under arrest. Rest.
Stop your heart from running too fast

Than the past. Ghast! Take it
Slowly. Be quick to not hear what you’ve heard

Try to forget if you must forgive.
Talk more to think less.

Guard your heart
With all your heart.
