Breathe

Pounding down the sidewalk

down the bend

around the lilac bush

Onto the deck

Throw yourself and

Breathe.

breaths

come slowly

softly

spiraling up to meet the empty sky

Void

of sun

and moon

and stars.

The sun loves the

Moon so much,

every

night

he

Dies to let her breathe

and you

die

to let him live.

Stolen laughter,

Puff!

Air snatched from your lungs

ahh, ahh,

nothing more beautiful

Drown in the stars

the dust of ancient galaxies.

let yourself

die

so

you can

breathe,

and

not

him.
