"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that’s all."
-Oscar Wilde


Wrapped around my ribcage,
stutter-shook
and spinning slowly
around my skin,
tattooed black
and blue,
armor of
my collapsed lungs
which shudder
as they search
for air,
for lucid consciousness
which escapes
my addled mind
and breaks 

my every

bone.
