DM Babbit Poet Blank verse

Every Life Matters

Heart beats
  chest breathes
    diaphragms expand
      eyelashes blink
        muscles stretch
          mind thinks ;

cartilage contracts
   glands swell
    lips quiver
     sinew syncopate
      skin, spine, senses shudder
       tongue tastes
         ears echo and resound

bones break
   bodies bleed
      breasts ache;

life begins
  living is short
    time is long 
live it well
     existence is
     everything
that matters..
