Precious seconds
No longer
Than a pulse
Sparking through a synapse
A silent rewind
Lacking beat of heart
Heat of breath
Sweat of brow
Your tightening
Releasing me
You breaking
Into laughter
With my spent collapse 
Again, again, more
Than I can bear
To remember

n.b. Sometimes it would be nice to be allowed to forget, n'est-ce pas?
