i try to breathe as little as possible
in order to leave less of a
carbon dioxide footprint on
the heights of heaven
to walk the halls of the cloud world
feels profane enough to ****
all the words from
my mouth; so shut
away my weakly words
whispered to the clouds
in hopes that god might hear
i'm trying to believe in magic made
in the speaking of dreams
and things the mind
so loves to keep
holding on to
perpetuating
the sorrow
i feel
but now i'm drowning in enough oxygen
to fuel the sun for millennia
to come in a future
without fear
fear that i might be living in times
deemed damnable by angry sky gods
of ancient times when people
lied more and told
themselves they were fearful
but proud to be so, all within
the same apocryphal breath breathed out
so you might have eternal life, and never make another sound
