I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of not living. I am afraid of lips that shut to the rhythm of a pulmonary valve that shuts to the rhythm of my beating heart that shuts off The red rawness of air from searing my lungs so that I become numb.

I am not afraid of death. I am afraid of not living. I am afraid of lips that shut to the rhythm of a pulmonary valve that shuts to the rhythm of my beating heart that shuts off The red rawness of air from searing my lungs so that I become numb.
