Breath catches,
warm then cold,
birth into fading.
Sunlight against closed eyelids,
swallowed by a hungry dark.
A child's laugh,
echoing down a long,
shadowed hallway.
Touch that soothes,
then claws that tear.
The scent of earth after rain,
the acrid sting of betrayal.
Heaven whispered on a lover's lips,
hell blazing in a stranger's eyes.
Are we angels in tattered wings,
or demons cloaked in gentle light?
Just echoes bouncing off
the walls of night and day,
becoming and unbecoming,
with each stolen breath.
