Four breaths in

by Postguied Parnell   Mar 25, 2014


Questioning my age.
This is just a phase.
Train reaches new speed.
Impeaching as I bleed.
Let the rapture come undone as I question it all.
Let the pictures come to fade as I come to a fall.
Pondering my fate knowing I will soon too pass.
Wondering my rage as knowing none will come to last.
Let it out.
Breathe it in.
The bitterness of nothing normal coming as a sin.
Shake about.
Come to spin.
The winter is now coming where spring should soon begin.
Where wondering of nothing worthy noting all the blunders lost.
The hunters coming bleeding tears when they see the holocaust.
Let. It. Out.
Breathe it it.
Be soon as the breathless wanderers wonder where to begin.
Be as baboons to the new people as they're studying your skin.
Let it out.
Breathe it in.
Act as actually breathless as this comes to an end.
Let it out...
Breathe it in...
Wonder if knowing is really such a sin.
Wonder if breathing breathless air is birthright to begin.
Let it out.

    Thank you. I realize that the style is a bit different from most of my poems. Do you have any idea of one that would be better suited?

    Wow there is so much to this piece. It is so well written but so completely heartrending at the same time. There is wisdom and there is curiousity as well, meshed almost perfectly together. I love the way you went about getting your feelings out and your thoughts to a specific point.

    I do not; however, have the ability to say that I like the style you chose, it sort of distracts the reader from what you are trying to say.
