Breaths

Pesky violent absorptions, what do you want?
Stop plaguing me with the shrugs and puffs
Which throw a blanket over each sunrise
And demand responses from my full chest,
Side-sagging waterbags and hair-strewn navel.
I’ve no more time for you than I have for jugglers.

What are breaths but functionless, formless tirades
Of a system-driven carbon-hump, reminders
Of the great black?
Get away from me with your heaves.
I’ve been dipped into life like a greasy donut.

    Thanks PN!

    I can understand what you mean about absorptions. I wanted a word that was more scientific, to take away any preconcieved notions of 'breath' and break it down into a simple action. Breath as an absorption of oxygen into the lungs, no? Anyway, I pondered on it for quite a while...and that's all I had. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks again.

    I have a suggestion,Groove,
    Open your mouth,and I'll kiss you,
    and you can see my breath.
    Or,
    I can give you mouth to mouth.
    Your choice.:););)

    Heeheehee.....:)

    Oh, dearest Ali, your sweetness causes my heart to ache!
    You, as well, are kind beyond necessity.
    I would carry you across a desert!!!!!!
