( votes)the breath of love and death
written by: Gabriela M
@shortprose1
emotions leave the wombs of souls
inebriation
nakedness of pearls forgotten on the shore
inside the warmth of the unknown
the mystery of you is locked
somebody’s wearing yellow, sign of death
doors close
the ocean’s mortuary room
your hands stretch all the waves toward the North
my ankles stuck in sand
hibiscuses bloom in the bed
delusion
a cat is running outdoors
over the world
the breath of love and death
a verse from you
and then
Pompeian red
