jam #2 - exhaling

[panta rhei]

exhaling

[iblieve]

Black lung exhaling
death purged germs explode
into atmospheric chaos.
If we could only see the beauty
in exhaled death
we might see a pattern
to life without living.

sorry beauty brings out my morbidity
its not your art
its me
that's darc

[panta rhei]

life exhaled
offers breath
to a realm
that only now
begins to reveal
itself

[e-piph[lol]]

i exhaled
deeper and further
and moreso and more
to a time before time
to an age before yore
to a place where the sun
neither heats nor lights
to a condition wherein i could finally
breathe you in
pure.

[iblieve]

uncut pure
breathing in and out rapidly
from death to life
return trip guaranteed
exhale the pugent air
and breathe easier
next time around.

[judih]

out in gusts of cleanse
all my yesterdays
volatile conclusions

exhalations out out
as sweet raw air finds a vacancy
painting the walls afresh

[jimboloco]

Breathing in
I receive the gift of life

Breathing out
I give thanks for the gift of life
