Edgar Allen Poe’s Beating Heart

My feelings of being trapped inside of anything you can imagine with no way out.

Rapidly beating

No air for breathing

Under layers of whatever you imagine

It’s still hard to fathom

Darkness no end

Will light come again

Perfectly squared

Beating….no air

Pine box

Interlocked

Slowly decreased

Until there’s no beat

Interesting piece- short, but interesting from start to finish, that’s for sure.

Excellent!

simple…but i can feel the constrained space around me. Very communicative! I love the title.
