Breathing is no longer necessary.
ONE LAST BREATH BY MARCO YAN 34THPARALLEL MAGAZINE ISSUE 09
Heaving my chest for you inside
Tasted of a song born in the eighties.
Your neo soul vapors nullified my nostrils,
Stomped and stopped my intellect
almost my body still to the beat.
You flowed fast-intently repeating you
Inside my lungs made my future
Breaths unnecessary.
now you gone me dominated
by an abrupt four-measure rest
no more cadences
breathing is no longer necessary.
