one more breath from you...

one more breath from you
and I will exceed capacity

overfull of carbon dioxide
blown hot from across the room

leaving only hints of bruises

irresponsible id with
its sense of entitlement

hurtling through space
to lodge in my limbs

like a tugboat

ramming the dock
and knocking people
into the sea

while the crew laughs
and disembarks

looking for a vegan café
that serves wine in stemless glasses

poured from tattooed hands
