Sunken Lungs

collapsed lungs sunken,
quivering to the sound
of each breath
caving in as

blackened bones
quivering to the sound
of a straggling breath
choking
a truth of peril
too hard to swallow

and every inhale
of each breath
a permeating deterioration
saturating the cotton dress,
masking sores swollen
to stillness

where wandering eyes
caving in as
the skin of grotesqueness
grows as breaths fade
to a milky existence
never to be unseen

by the few
feeling the grips
of life slip like silk
eaten by moth holes,
the bones collapsing
to the sound of sunken lungs
