Systole

SYSTOLE

-noun
The rhythmic contraction of the heart, especially of the ventricles, by which blood is driven through the aorta and pulmonary artery after each dilation or diastole.



A tune of systole
A breath robbing melody
Displaying it charms
In the move of your ankles
And the dance of tiny bells
