Inhale
Ashes to ashes,
They fell down.
One long brown figer.
Shortened by a breath.
Inhale and exhale.
Breathe in,
Let it calm you.
Breathe out,
Damage is done.
None bearing children shall touch
None underage shall touch
Harmful yet pleasing
Relaxing yet breathtaking.
Inhale and exhale
The 6th finger shortens;
Half of it is gone.
Gaze around.
Feel the breeze.
I take it in
It runs through my systems
As its life shortens
So does mine.
Exhale
Ashes to ashes
We both will fall down
But I step on you,
You decayed before I did.

Inhale
Ashes to ashes,
They fell down.
One long brown figer.
Shortened by a breath.
Inhale and exhale.
Breathe in,
Let it calm you.
Breathe out,
Damage is done.
None bearing children shall touch
None underage shall touch
Harmful yet pleasing
Relaxing yet breathtaking.
Inhale and exhale
The 6th finger shortens;
Half of it is gone.
Gaze around.
Feel the breeze.
I take it in
It runs through my systems
As its life shortens
So does mine.
Exhale
Ashes to ashes
We both will fall down
But I step on you,
You decayed before I did.
