Breath
April 7, 2011
Grey clouds thin
Dulled frozen air
Muscles pulled taut
The whitening hair.
Wind whistling through the mesh
The breath of morning
Morning breath
Stiffened old limbs
Wracked by coughs
His insistence,
A sailor’s knot.
When a sky raised bumps on flesh
The breath of mourning
Mourning breath
Choking words
Rigid hands
The loudest silence,
Frigid lands.
All was living, new and fresh
With breath of dying,
Dying breath.
