Pump ~ A #Hearteater piece

In truth this thing beating in my chest is a simple pump. An organ of specialized muscle to push fluid through my arteries; a construction of chambers and valves to accept depleted blood and thrust it back through my body. My thoughts don't control it; my heartbeat resonates through my chest regardless of my awareness, beating through the night, through the day. And yet, somehow, she's managed to make it more. To read along as you listen, the full piece, as well as the rest of the collaboration for the #Hearteater project can be found here.
