to breathe the breath that will be the last.
how complex the grammar of it:
-inhale,
holding between the thought
&
throat.
(to relish as if wine aged by years two feet have stood)
flicker that everything,
?matters, has mattered, will no longer matter, past mattering,?
to an extent.
the lingering of everything was enough by never being, “enough,
but,
it happened.?
(many much more of this and that than this)
probably holding for a minute more, then,
surely, frustrated, desperate, done-
-exhale.
