Tar Lung

 

It has never struck my lungs

but I imagine a clot of

dust.�

 

Suffocating oxygen-

����������� a lapse in time

brimming with thoughts of

����������������������������������������������� Finality.

 

It�s physical collapse against a

mental struggle that would rather

exhale never than challenge the body.
