heart

i know i’ve got a body
because you allow it to react
you touch, you smother,
you linger, you caress,
you trace, you posess

you know i’ve got a body
because I allow it to act
to move, to struggle,
to tremble, to overcome,
to extend, to encompass

but how do we know

if i have a heart?

do you allow it to react?

do i allow it to act?
