husband's coat I need distance from
because where he goes I can't
comply with my lungs
since he arrives where air is
commercialized little affording my breath avenue,
I'm broke but resilient as slick clearance avocado
in months turning fourteen noticing liver
internal ramification
rammed by others heart maybe
by whatever instead of ever what
transposed might not be choppy
but it's not by figuring but regarding
with taking a turn not to antsiness but endurance
while my life is as without morsel to go out into cold,
yet how it threads out is by do we tie loose ends
however my status of reaction hasn't capacity
but request help
in choking when getting untangled
subverting satisfied not missing out
through benefit fuming
Author notes
a couple lines iffy then pleasing, will let it sit before rechecking for editing
good luck doesn't clear
please use words for comment,
not emotions nor the applause however rose if you must extra decorate...
with paragraph the vase of water maybe --
