Circulatory

A thing I can't quit,
no expanding arterial wall;
I'm a sickle cell
caught up in you

Fibrinogen
platelets from megakaryocytes
to fill the wound
from your fingertips

A soft kiss
Purkinje fibers frazzled
semilunar valve 
murmuring sweet nothings

A heated embrace
sinoatrial node 
desynchronized
please defibrillate

There is no such thing as
diastolic or systolic;
only you
over me
