the earth is
turning under our toes
and in each toe
my heart beats
it’s a heavier beat
stretching to my last
toe
pushing through
through the small fingers and the small toes
we are beating
the earth is turning under our feet
and our
heart beats
mine slower
yours faster
as if making up for
one another
as if
still getting to know
each other
as if both trying
to keep up
with the world
spinning under our
toes
