Breaths in staggering gulps
Tearing down windpipe like trains through tunnels
Chugging along the tracks
The rhythmic thud
Up and down
In and out
Reminiscing of times gone by
Simple mornings
Gauzy and effervescent
Bubbling with laughter
Choking on dust
And the weight of a thousand years
Pressing your chest
Making heavy your breathing
Like pillars of salt
Standing in the desert, longingly
Forlorn you search for a place to call home
Please remind me where you came from -
I haven't the foggiest.
