Breath 



Breath ,breath, breath
I'm repeating this word in my head 
Like a favorite character of mine ,
Love crushed me into a rubble 
Of stones 
Broke my spirit and separated a part 
Of me from my own kin ,
It crushed me and dumped me far away 
From their field ,
Now I'm lying here 
Struggling to breath 
My bones crushed ,
The pain in my heart much greater than that
Of my bone's bad fate.


I'm failing to breath ,
I try to let the air in but somehow a needle
Pricks my chest heavily and I 
And I feel an unimaginable sense of pain
The pain of a wound I can not touch ,
I feel it digging into my chest like a 
Hungry insect but I somehow can't 
Crush that insect for troubling my spirit ,
I can't crush it cause I can't see it ,
I can feel it but never see it ,
So I cultivate within my pricked spirit 
A path to life ,
Breath breath breath 
I chant the words like a mantra 
Somehow they do not heal my soul 
I chanted them thinking they are the ones
The sage in the temple up the village chant daily 
But 
But I guess I was wrong as always
For the chants did not heal my spirit they 
Instead drowned me in a sea of my own expectations 
Of a peaceful life. 


I may breath but only I know 
The hole in me that is struggling to keep
Up with the air in me 
And only I am waiting for it
To devour me


Thee° entangled
