About Breath
like I remember when you were young
round the hearth but there’s no flame
and the doctor is pointing with a red pen
at a cavity between your lungs talking
about lymphocytes which have formed
like a new territory a whereabouts
we’re heading towards and this breath
this every-day in and out is sucked
with a gasp the force of a fist
inside my chest and I am aghast
how my breath I hardly notice now breathes
