Airthirsty

Airthirsty

When the simple act of breathing

Is not enough to get all the oxygen

I need

I wish I could inhale

Through every pore

Of my earthly skin.

 

Even then,

Would that suffice?

Has not the air

Become scant?

 

Will you then kiss

Into me the oxygen

I lack, and plead

My thirsty

Lungs

To heartily 

Breathe?

 

How I wish...

Such a whimsical dream.
