HANGING IN THE AIR TONIGHT

Hanging In The Air Tonight

The smell
of one's own sweat
deep to the back
of the sinuses

The touch
of thick, course fibers
embracing the throat

The sight
of the stars peaking
through old shed walls

The taste
of dust and wood
pulled deep
coating one's lungs

The sound
of neck bones snapping

then
not 
even
the
sense 
of 
nothing
