You've always known it

Lungs will breathe
Hearts beats

Turned down
Wondering where
Things may have slipped
Looking out
For the icy covenant beneath my feet
I breathe.

Beneath translucent stars
The holy spirit of Jesus
Carved this air
That we breathe,
As He walked
Among the Philistines

Pour porto into your glass with ease.
Just open gas valve in the kitchen 
And breathe...

sunlight streams in,
 revealing the beauty
 of the cave,
 through clear waters I surface
  to breathe in a passing cloud

I Won'T

I won't breathe unless you breathe
I won't bleed unless you bleed
I won't be unless you be
Until I'm gone and I can sleep

Windfalls,
bruised gold splitting,
their sweet rot perfumes the mouth
of earth. I breathe the death that feeds
new life.

Me

Drowning in a body of oxygen

And yet I can't breathe

Drowning in an ocean of happy

A happy I don't know how to feel.

Sweet Relief

Balanced on a wire so sharp ---
I wince each time I breathe ---
A sudden exit from my life,
would bring such sweet relief.

Spicy

Hearts pound, eyes locked, breathe.
Glass fogs, first time, holding her.
Our bodies and hearts now one.
Soul mate forever.

Green

GREEN

Gobs of grass and trees
Reaching to the sky
Everything is full of life
Everywhere is new growth
Now I can breathe

The Moment

Crunch, Crunch.
Leaves heralding
Brown forms ghosting through oaks.
Pulse quickens, hands sweat, try to breathe.
Showtime.
Form: Cinquain

My Shadow

Tendering softly 
my shadow you breathe me in 
deeply then exhale 
me in a new form of light.
Oh, how I love you for this!

To Be Alive

Why do we think
We are lucky
For still we are
Able to breathe

Knowing
In the wrong place
Of the wrong time
Never been

A twisted mesh of brambled wire,




Crudely knotted around my stomach,


My lungs fill with grief,

I cannot breathe

I breathe in their rich fragrance
