Today's prompt was to write a poem with a repeated line or word.... this one's based on real-life experience which I found kind of fascinating...
ECG
A scroll map of the heart, literally.
All the peaks and valleys of living -
eating, breathing, thinking, feeling,
hieroglyphics of quotidian being.
Boom-boom, boom-boom
the sonic beat of life
filters through the gloom
of the MD's room.
Boom-Boom, boom-boom.
Loud proud systole
filling the air like a shout.
Proof positive of presence.
Heart no longer a metaphor,
weary and broken
but a red-fisted muscle
of persistent proclamation:
I'm alive, I exist, I am -
suddenly relevant,
resonant
information.
