Click hereA cry from the dark
haunting, haunting
the deadly air
settling in dark clouds.
Breathless black
soot and dust
the silent monoxide
seeping the seams
while above, life
in moments like days
every breath seems stolen
from those far below.
The faintest hope
a dim light and air
fresh air - a prayer
their only chance.
We wait and breathe
each greedy sip
in the last - their
last gasps of hope.

TheRainManover 18 years agoI preferred your other poem, but I suppose that is not a fair way to react, comparing one to the other, especially since they are the best 2 poems of the day, IMO.
Excellent way to be introduced to a new name, with a double-barreled bull's eye.
More, please.
WickedEveover 18 years agoyour reading really made this a powerful piece. I read the poem first, then listened to the audio. Hearing a poet read his own work, really adds to it. What a great experience hearing you. Thanks.
