Description
A simple measurementcan make a man
lose himself; a blurring, no more
than a grainy smudge
a scant 7.34mm long
this rice-grain, seven weeks old
with one hundred and twenty nine
heartbeats per minute
βall this, from a mere sesame-seed of a heart

Beautiful! I read this aloud and found it most pleasing in aesthetic flow. Conceptually, of course, it is original and succinct in word selection. (no pun intended)
