Asthma (Free verse) by jessicazee
What a simple breath should be:
Captive air released
Without incident
Then a sweet ozone afternoon
Sitting still,
A slack flag.
The origin of a wheeze:
Dust, a feather, a Marlboro Light -
The peal of the phone.
Two soap operas pass
Before a lung is full
Of bee balm, chocolate milk, clarity.
Thank your favorite saint
For hydrogen, oxygen
Potions inspired by breath and being.
