    INVALID BREATHE

    GROANING SOUL
    FALLEN TO A FATED ILL FORTUNE

    FALTERED NOISY STEPS
    IRREVERSIBLY QUIETENED STILL
    SHATTERED DREAMS
    ERRORS OF ITS HOPELESS CARELESS DREAMER
    WHOSE
    ONES VIBRANT SELF
    IS
    HELPLESSLY ENCLOSED IN A FOUR EDGED BOX

    AIR IS THE LEAST OF YOUR WANTS
    NOT WITH A NOSE THAT WILL NOT BREATH
    FOOD,
    NOT AGAIN WILL YOU FARMISH FOR
    YOUR TEETH HAVE BEEN FOREVER TIGHTENED STILL
    SEX,
    ITS UNCONTROLLABLE CRAVE NO LONGER
    WILL BE YOUR WEAKNESS
    NOT WITH DEAD CELLS
    AND
    CLOSED EYES
    THAT NO LONGER WILL BEHOLD BEAUTY.
    AIDS, IN ITS SPEAROUS ARMS
    YOU ARE FOREVER EMBRACED.
