do you want it
what i offer 
this warm 
wet 
rising mist 
from deep 
within 
a trembling 
pause ... and
if you do
just reach 
press 
touch 
taste ... me
and swell 
while 
i 
fill the emptiness 
the 
loneliness 
...a vaporous vision 
gone
with the ache 
and then ... 
pause ... again 
... for it's all in the 
breath  
stolen ... or given 
... just breathe 
it's yours 
....this breath
