waking patterns
Waking-
…remembering to breathe….
-savoring a delicious intake of air that swallows like a sip of desperation and stale nostalgia.
Opening eyes-
…forced exhale…
-the air that escapes my lips leaves me with transparent amnesia.
Movement-
…breathe in…
-with arms embracing the fading heat current that intermingles with cotton sheets and cold sweat.
Memories-
…brain function…
-returns with a slow exhale of air that hauntingly whispers of dislocated pain.
