With Every Breath


It’s not about 

your need to hear

but what I need to say

 

The words unbartered

spoken clean

released to have their way

 

They choose their own

intended path

in beelines of advance

 

To scent the air

with every breath

—beyond your circumstance

 

(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: June, 2022)
