My Last Breath


It is floating somewhere
Where I don’t know
Perhaps it is moving
Over an orange grove
In Venezuela    It
May not even be above
Ground    Could be a pocket
Of air floats in a tar
Pit blanketing the bones
Of a million gold fish
In Siberia
Perhaps I alone am
Immortal    Wherever
You are Last Breath    I know
Nothing about you
Except your taste    You
Taste like forty acres
Of snow in Nebraska
