Breathe

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , , ,

You are my first breath
every morning
and while dreams linger
inside
— a gallery of half-remembered
artwork
that left an impression
on my heart —

I know whatever comes with
my second breath
I can survive if you stay
with me
until my final breath.
