Breathe In
blind eyes
red cells
oxygen blood
gasping lungs
Breathe Out
quiet looks
dark corners
traffic jams
endless moon
Breathe In
prickling skin
open lips
beating heart
eager hands
Breathe Out
soft bed
secret trysts
heady whispers
unanswered questions
Breathe In
bleeding bones
faulty limbs
failing veins
bruised legs
Breathe Out
novocain points
chrome halls
beeping machines
masked mouths
Breathe In
endless pain
secret fears
dead hope
nothing left
Breathe Out
blearing shrills
distant shouts
knife dissections
open surgery
Breathe In
laboring breaths
darkening visions
numb limbs
goodbye songs
Breathe Out
head shakes
dripping tears
no, no
all dead
Breathe In
