it's cold as ice,

lights out,

music in my ears loud,

breathe thrice.


tumble glass around,

between thumbs and fingers,

breath lingers,

before spinning away passed dry lips without a sound.

open mouth

closed mouth

open mouth

closed mouth

would i really?
yes i would.

"count the breaths. count them. that'll help"

with music pounding

lights away

the breaths slowly stop

until there are none left to count

and a wish starts becoming stronger & stronger

like a star falling towards you

a wish for the air

to be replaced

by water.
