002, "Spira, Respira."

And it wasn’t,
by any right,
simple,
to just breathe
and escape the
never-fleeting
moments of panic.

Much like how
“un”simple it is
for the blind to
form allegiance
within shadows
they’ve never seen –
and the deaf to
whisper secrets
they’ve never heard.

In fact,
the very concept of
“just breathing,”
seemed to feel like
attempting to pronounce
words of a language
that had never been penned.
