heart is ticking
skipping
beating
faster
mastery
comes to me
suddenly
heavily

turning
in on me
sideways
slipping
moving
closer
never
missing

something
otherwise
tries to tell me
bargaining
buying
still can't sell me
off!
and running
useless
wastery
time
passing
and then
infinity
furthermore, rises
back
inside me
plain, in sight
you continue
to hide me
