L Apostrophe Air Morte

l’air morte the last breath which speaks to no one though others may be present others may be in the room or on the street when/where it happens it dissipates into the surrounding air as if its point of origin had never actually been--- a few too many drinks before a car ride on a night with a bit of black ice a curiosity concerning a drug one has never tried, with no frame of reference besides the snide smile offering a moment too long of cabin fever brand depression in a house alone with a stocked gun cabinet a spouse cheating on their significant other who has just stirred up a fatal cocktail to offer them a sickness eating from within which bears no signs on the face or the exterior until it is too late a lover whose passion cannot stand another in the mix finding out how to correctly operate a pistol with a silencer and blood fills the world unparalleled as the breaths subtract themselves away into finality.
