Superior Vena Cava Poems | Examples

Heart Wit Claim

I'm boring through your ventricles
I'm being terribly invasive
My quiet warm breath 
Keeping measure and pace
         To such meticulous work
Fills your four chambers
         You don't feel one thing
         You feel everything
So close, so intimate
         My eyelids flutter against your tricuspid valve
My whole body is fluttering now
         Because now
         With my lips brushing against your aortic rigatoni
         I am swimming inside your deepest being

Your heavy pumping heat
My legs now dangling out of your pulmonary noodle
I've become miniscule in this glorious museum
That keeps you alive
Forgive my exit now, my darling,
This time in your heart has changed me
You are the force which wobbles this reckoning world
This I realize

        Miraculously sliding up
        Your superior vena cava
