Curve of clouded sky:
a pregnant future pressed against its limits.
Puffed cheeks full of destined secrets,
a compromise of molecules
sculpting form from pressure and restraint.
This gasp withheld:
drawn in anticipation
and silenced behind pursed lips
(a desperate consumption of hard-won pleasures).
Innocuous expulsion,
tempering fair-weather:
The quiet before the war.
