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.
