“Obsessions” by Marina and the Diamonds (oOoOO Remix)

when what is heard is now felt

wires entangle my neck, my hair, my ears,
my entire body in a mess of rubber-encased wiring
electricity pulsing through these thin metal strips in rhythm with
what I think is what you would call a heart

The pulses of an encoded heart.

My heart.

when what is heard is now felt

these deep vibrations
pulsating,
mixed from right to left
and back and forth
a wave of electricity
hertz
it’s hertz
it hurts

I’m wrapped in the arms of the only thing that loves me
A machine connected to machine after machine
Replaced one by one.
Something shiny and new comes along.

A sleek, glass screen.

When what is heard is now felt.

The auditory embodiment of those lights pulsing.

Cold metal to my skin when all I want is your warmth.

Vinyl encasing my ears

when all I want is your warmth

Pulses

I do not know what is my pulse, the pulse

when what is heard is now felt.

I just want to feel your pulse.
