The Thin Air

i can't breathe

she came out of thin air - phantom from another world - wounds run deep - ravaged like an open sore - a persuasive girl - so persuasive

naked in the sun, we absorb all light - translucent, electric, ever-growing, potent, sublime - ghost of a memory - slowly subsides - an invisible moment lost to the night

i have to wonder, haunted by a dream - it makes me wonder, was it thin air

concentric circle of shadows - we moved as one - found god within each other - ecstatic crucifixion

i have to wonder haunted by a dream - it makes me wonder, was it thin air

slow waning ardor of coals - the tiny steps of time

see this once again - blackness

slow waning ardor of coals - the tiny steps of time - i want to drown together

sleepy with drear, our counterpoise - we are nature's mouth, choking on the after-glow

i have to wonder, haunted by a dream - it makes me wonder, was it thin air - the thin air

i can't breathe
