Obvious (pantoum)

Hearts are panting
Lips are smoothing
Time is sitting
Waiting for me to shake.

Lips are smoothing
The envelope seal
Waiting for me to shake
His hand like a man.

The envelope seal
Is violently mutilated.
His hand like a man
Twists the paper open

Is violently mutilated.
Tension is building and he
Twists the paper open…
Time is sitting.

Tension is building and he
Reads my words.
Time is sitting
While two hearts beat together.
