breath lost
put away
safely kept
my lungs
catch a break
before the wave comes
breath lost
put away
safely kept
my lungs
catch a break
before the wave comes
My throat locking
lips too heavy to move
Eyes squinting, heart beating against bone
the air too quiet
kindness felt violent
panic overcorrecting
