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.
