This Troubled Breath
If I could look out my window
And see tangerines on trees
If I could look out my window
And see people breathing for me
You could say I would be happy-momentarily
Stop bothering me
The constriction, the restriction
The infliction
My body has betrayed me
Brought about nightmares in stars
And blackholes and fire rain
And chains garnished over my lungs
Pulling tighter and tighter
Until I can’t talk anymore
I can’t cry
The air inside of me has no where to lie
It won’t go through the veins, the branches
My tree of life
I am destined to die, one last breath-is a troubled breath of mine.
