This is a poem I made up when I was sitting in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona this past summer.

Oh sigh again and breathe the world into being once more.
This pulsing beneath me threatens to shake me off my feet.

Oh blink again and I will be different than before,
Maybe you won't recognize me when our eyes meet.
Maybe the road I thought I took
looped back around and became another.

I didn't realize and then I felt this strange pulsing
heart that lies
just beyond our sight.

This mischievous heart that beats however it likes,
This ambivalent heart that shakes you when it strikes.
