tattoo

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
