excitement or anxiety
I cannot tell
cast your spell
my heart beats
a tattoo
inside my chest
my mind
beats up my hope
telling me not to expect
yelling to Buddha-like
rescind desire as though
I can trick love
to arrive by turning my back
stave off disappointment
without scaring away joy
but that balancing act
I have not mastered
and clumsy
fall again
