Nette Onclaud Poet Dodoitsu

Lungs Wrapped In Black

~ emptiness chokes lungs of night
coughing from rib caged fever, 
a tight-rope walker lies still...
amidst full moon’s howl


pain, wrapped in black holocaust
as her bridal dress withers,
staining a torn, cancelled love…

pre-nuptial songs crack ~
