Heartbeat feverish
Yet tumescent drums suppressed
Otoscope needed

I’ve always appreciated when a poem teaches me a new word. ‘Tumescent’ is the word of the day for me.
Beyond that though, those word choices do a HUGE amount of storytelling here. It’s not uncommon to see comments on haikus saying much with little, but this really does take that to another level.
Thanks, PC! Cramming much into little is what draws me to haiku as a form, so this means a lot.
Writing a haiku every day (or close to that) is like my logic puzzle for the day.
