The Sky Inhale It


The sky… inhale it. Taste it's bitterness
 
Taste the salt of the tears it cries
 
Smell the scent of the ocean breeze mixed with the damp wet cloth scent of cloud
 
Take a step forward only to take ten back
 
Ten seconds
 
Grab the bottle
 
Contemplate the point 
 
Encircle it's shape
 
Grab the oval smell its chalky taste
 
Swallow it whole
 
Take another?
 
Why not?
 
Let the reaper come inside the house
 
Let him carry your soul out the door leaving your color of black inside, the scent of a pool 
 
The pool of a tear you carry set it down let it splash the floor sink into the wood
 
The sky inhale it, taste the sweetness… leaving you forever
