Slow Puncture

By birksy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

This slow puncture, how long have I had it? Breathing out seems so easy, breathing in a little worse. There's no fingers that can block it, it's a dam of a trickle, gonna bring me down all the way. So, if I'm moving kind of slowly, don't help me, it won't help me, just smile, let me slowly leak away. Written February 20th, 2002 © on Feb 20 2002 07:14 AM PST, Simon Birks   0 • 1
