to feel it between
her lips she won't
smoke those cancer
sticks because then 
he'd be in her lungs....

My dad died from lung cancer.
He's resting in peace.

It's time I admit that I am a quitter 
No longer, am I, a cigarette sitter
The stick, I flung
To save some lung
And now I am abnormally bitter...

Stop biting thy tongue…
all it shall bring is a taste
for self destruction
as the sanguine
beckons it’s spirits
and spits
down thy lung.

Pollen permeates your nose and lung
All you can smell is farmers' dung
The gnats and flies
Flock to your eyes
As wasps and bees swarm 'till your stung!...

Crystal memories plunge through champagne neurons
Enzyme keys code break the access lung
Through mind states that pancake in the sun
All awards bestowed to molten gravity...

pain
anguish
frustration
praying to die
dreaded lung cancer
she’s completely worn out
a second hand smoke victim
she finally took too many pills
and fell into a forever sleep
even I did not understand her pain...

All the friends I knew when I was young
Are old or dead
When the sadness gets stuck in my lung
I stay in bed
I'll lay here the rest of the day
Seen my whole life wasted away
All the friends I knew are old or dead....

The silence gasps like a lung during its final breath,
Yes or no is the only answer to the question.
To part ways or live as one forever til death,
eyes full of beauty are her lethal weapon,
our souls burning with love eternally resting....

coughing up my lung and my stomach
a Mack truck must have run over me last night
I crawl into work anyway thinking I am indispensible
the boss almost immediately sends me home
don't come back until you are well she says
glad she is my boss...

I can feel your breath,
dance on peach fuzz,
honeysuckle smoke,
whispers in my lung,
every follicle tuned, 
yours to the sun,
mine the moon, 
we are two of one,
quietly a buzz,
bucolic beds state,
unassuming,
the morning’s hour,
delicate....

Two millenniums 
Old breath
Comes into my lung
Week
And interrupted
Shattered by rusted nails
A breath of pain
A breath of love
A breath of forgiveness
The snow is falling
Enlightening the streets
I kept walking
Following this ancient breath...

I hide my heart within your heart,
Deep inside your tiny chest,
You, perfectly, hold me too --
And as a bird I sleep in nest.
I hide myself within your breath,
That,inhalation into your lung,
You,perfectly, feel for me
Within your breath and among....

"There is no safety this side of Death",
admonished Father Jubal.
There's a chance we've only one more breath;
I'd bet my bottom Ruble!
My iron tongue- my lying lung!
One last dirge to be sung...
But from the depths of Hell, from Heaven fell-
I have climbed up wrung for wrung!...

trash remains

and bodies left

The open West is an iron lung
  for the polio of my soul

Lifting me up and breathing in
  at once to make me whole

Wild and free, its air blows clean
  to minister my wounds

And nurse me back to perfect health
  —a second none to soon

A vaper does not really care
If anyone can breathe fresh air
With flavoured dung
Dusting a lung
They're happy just to have a spare!

Vaping delights their lungs and blood
Like blowing smoke as thick as mud
Repeated use
Tightens the noose
Until their heart can't beat the crud....

Heard of popcorn lung
 or maybe vapor's tongue
You'd be remiss
if you don't Google this
Children don't watch the news
if we don't warn them is it child abuse
Tough love's a thing of the past
all the victims, though, learned fast

Here's the pun
What a home-run
for nicotine gum...

The women of the sea:
Gentle vaginal giants
Rowing, rowing, rowing.
Then a fruit cup, a spray down,
And back into the Wild Blue!
Make room for more!
All you need, really,
Is a rope tied to a jug
To catch you some women of the sea.
Na Wahine O Ke Kai:
A hug would collapse a lung....

18 months ago he married
late
the love of his life 
and in january a child was born
a cough he couldn't cure
was lung cancer
3 months later he is dead
dead
gone to the child to the woman
gone to his mother, his brothers
and all who loved him
life is short
chances are few
count your blessings...
