Breathing noise builds in the throat

Air refuses to go in

Body feels weightless in the wind

Weightless like a fallen leaf

Weightless, lifeless and swimming in the air

Gasp

Emptiness fills the mouth

Gasp

Bitterness cuts the tongue

Gasp

Inner dirt blocks the throat

Cough

Facial blood vessels swell

Cough

Eyes widen

Blink

Tears drop

Blink

The colour of silence welcomes the eye to a new dimension

Feet hit the ground like a toddler learning to walk

The toddler in a man, learning to walk again

Unconsciously run across the street

Stumble across the innocent flowers

Flowers that filled the night with sweet fragrance

Cough

Bitterness still cuts the tongue

Cough

Eyes wide open, they see nothing

Gasp

Nose takes in scent of the darkness

Gasp

A few more quick steps

Cough …cough…cough

Knees drop to the ground

Hands grip tight the dewed grass

Tears run down the cheeks

Cough again and again

Roaring like a lion

But crying like a baby

Elbows rest on the grass, head falls down

And cough again

Sweat bubbles out of the skin

Time is stretching

Shake and shiver

Collect strength and cough again

Then it is out

Like a tree bark falling off a trunk

It detaches itself from the chest

It is out

Flew right out the mouth

It is not much, but it looks disgusting

Abet masTelatu yesew gud
Inhale slowly

And exhale

Arms stretch out

Head falls back

Grass is wet and fresh

Air is so clean and crisp

Breathe

Tears dry

Eyes stare at the stars up in the sky.
