My heart is thumping
as if against a thick
Redwood door. 

Shhhhhh              listen.

But I am mostly in the drunk ruckus of my mind;
I rarely hear anyone at the door. 

Some part of me
knows better,

knows, I am

the door and the loud party
and even the unheard sound

of that tender muscle lub-dup knocking.
