Shivering Heart Trimeric

The vestige of a shivering heart 
a tremor through your whole body; 
It’s difficult to hold your balance 
regulation starts to plummet;

A tremor through your whole body 
igniting violent cold creeps; 
Nothing able to make them stop;

It’s difficult to hold your balance 
when your guts are a frozen flutter; 
Regurgitating all your remains; 

Regulation starts to plummet
until your hands settle on your chest,
calming the ripples on your skin.

Jeff Kyser December 10, 2022 at 2:25 PM I like the trimeric, for one, Melani. The subject matter hits home right now - having undergone a procedure to allow me to come off of medications for rhythm and rate control, I'm in a limbo land right now, not completely knowing if it was successful. Every bump, missed beat, double beat is an utter distraction from whatever else I was doing. It will setting here in the next few weeks, but I felt this one viscerally... Sometimes you just have to rest and exhale... Melani Udaeta December 10, 2022 at 3:28 PM That’s awesome. I wish you a speedy recovery.
