interesting...this is why...I meant only to highlight the "where your heart pumps the bleeding binds" as it reminded me of a couple of lines of this tanks of mine from way back when in Medium-time:

Blood or water bonds

Bleed with friends from family

Blood clots water flows

Family oft gaslights me

Yet one clap from sis tears flow

My tanka was in response to day one of Diana's 30-in-30 well over two tears ago. Day one being "DELVING INTO THE WATERY REALMS OF EMOTION" (all caps only from the cut and paste).

Then, when I saw that the previous lines of your poem also lighted up, a song came to mind. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=I4JJ_cU3Pi8&si=XiUFqK76pz2mxTVD I have no idea if it fits. The tune seems way too catchy and upbeat in this song I love that came to mind to fit your poem. Yet, when I googled the lyrics, many lines of the song seem like a poem you could have written.

Moreover, when I googled the song, the initial hit was a song by a different artist and when I read the lyrics of that song I had never, as far as I know, heard before, they seemed to fit well. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=gGRfWhUWb5Q&si=d2_nWQu59v7OhYaM Then I listen to it and don't like the music but the lyrics...ah, art...
