Arrhythmia

It beats but not in tempo
It pulses out of time
It taps all in a muddle
Less rhythm and less rhyme
Wiping the hours out daily
In a whirl of dizziness
Aware of butterflies in veins
Or struggling to catch breath
As heart beat and heart rhythm
Conducts all out of skew
For that’s the way arrhythmia
Can feel when it strikes you!
