two hearts beat as one

Of Interest

of interest,
and historically significant

your hand
reaching through darkness,
touching mine

all sound turned vapor
all sight turned crystal

basic elements
of chemistry
altering physiology

palpitating, dialating, perspiring

seven years, still to come, exploding in a teardrop
eleven years, left behind, imploding in a sigh

science regards me,
of interest

my heart of gold,
absent a hallmark,
once assayed as stone,
found to be
beating

inside a wom(b)an,
cradled,
and once again
of interest
