Breath

How one breathes ones
breath says more about 
one’s life than anything 
When one sighs its 
sign is exasperation when 
one heaves its exhaustion
when one snores its 
sleep when one yawns 
its tired and when 
one simply and quietly 
and rhythmically breathes its 
as peaceful and calm 
as the surf rolling 
onto shore and kissing 
the sand quickly and
retreating embarrassed only to 
do it again over 
and over without shame
