BREATH

I warned you.
black crow to the west
You said you were fine
white dove to the east

You weren’t fine
a haze of smoke covered your face
And now you’re gone
a layer of mud covered your shoes

Your friends said you laughed when you saw the car
white pearls getting bigger
It was all fine in your mind
Darkness

Your friends told me they would find who sold it to you
eve eats the apple
But that wasn’t enough for me
adam follows

I had to see you again
cold blade on warm flesh
everything is fine now
I exhale
