I couldn't extend my mouth far enough to where it could
wrap around the stench, swallowing it whole;
but I tried.
The teeth cracked under the force
of my jaw lengthening and reaching
further into the space where Venus presides.
Not many grasses could enjoy the pleasing light
of this smell. Wrapping around the tree
of hope, but not commenting further. Life
presides in a single weed worthy of a dress,
implanted with jewels.
Extending farther and farther down onto
outer space,
where you float in one and all directions
at once.
Not knowing how to smell,
I just swallow it
as my lungs collapse inside.
Gasping this stench with my mouth,
but I can't inhale it all.
Some things don't use the motion
of freedom,
and I reduce to nothing.

this is suppossed to be confusing but i was generally thinking of someone in outerspace gasping for air. But this can be very ambiguous
