XXII: when oxygen melts

a particle burning in flames—
bedridden with a heart on chain
a scent of an old lady with a porcelain
a premonition that life can never be a game.

the last time at the hands of death,
lungs are getting ouf of breath—
a synchronised motion when you speak
black man with a scythe shall greet.
