I Require Poems of Pure Breathing

the snort of steam engines
gusts of puppy play

clouds generating showers
colors exploding in spring

sunny roses exuding
chestnuts respiring in hazy light

wind on a mountain meadow
the zephyrs of Venus

bursts of marathon breath
exhalations in the velvet dark

the pale green sigh of the priest as he buries a child
oxygen inhaled from great waves in the gills of little fishes

an alchemist’s prayer
the panting of a singularity in flux

bubbling retorts extruding rare gases
babbling streams

a lion’s roar
an echidna’s fart

a young man’s snore
two lovers part

volcanoes erupting
shouts of despair

purest poems of pure air
