If I say 'cot cote, cot cote, cot cote, cot cote'
I'm speaking systalticly:
alternately contracting and dilating,
pulsating like a heart.

'Systalting'
comes not with the baggage of 'beating',
but, romanticly,
'systalts'
(to my knowledge, in no poem of young-dying Keats)
is not a shade on 'beats'.

Re 'a shade on', above:
'cot cote',
as romantic as 'baby dove'.

Cot cote- sound sparks systematically and we hear this rightly with care and dignity. Heart beat carries love and you five this feelings to us. An excellent poem is nicely penned.10
