Breathing Dark
It isn’t words I fear to breathe
Breathe breathe
Breath of life
Living language life’s blood
Blood blood
Bloody words
It isn’t love I fear to touch
Speak speak
Living love
And words that breathe lie
Still still
Breath of blood
It isn’t life I fear to speak
Words words
Loving still
And love that bleeds so
Dark dark
Dying heart
