A cave in the earth holds
rushes of water
foreign hearts
trapped in a hidden chamber.
Rushes of
familiar blood
move
with atrial
ventricular
compulsion.
The dark
pump and pound
whooshes
inside and around us.
We dive
into waiting
the drain
the exchange
knowing each other’s need
to breathe.

Catherine D’Andrea lives in Connecticut with a fat, orange tabby, a crazy calico, and a funny husband. She is a mother, teacher, and student, who believes life is a mystery, not to solve, but to explore. Poetry helps her do that.
