Gale's Breath

CATEGORY

life

Views: 441

As I walk this deserted path

a tunnel of empty hollow,

my eyes whisk away

and run North towards the Heavens.

My mind wanders to the original score of swallowing silence.

All but for the orphanage of gravel that cries out beneath my deliberate strides.

Small abandoned pieces, splintered long ago.

Broken in their own right,

a quarry of screams, crunching under my hardened sole.

How fitting.

So rootless is my walk

as the wind implores and whispers its final warning.

Still, I remain unsure

whether confounded under the guard of shelter,

or having never to see another morning.

The forecast speaks aloud the “Fujita Scale” of me.

Willingly I lay down my stones

and shiver from the exhale of my inner storm, still unseen.

With everything I bare, feeling the unsavory air

of Gale’s breath upon my own neck,

I’m scarred and unclean.

And I’m so scared.
