Only breath
Nothing else
Inhale
Still here
Exhale
Still here
Mercy.
Only breath
Then rest
Inhale
Still here
Exhale
Still here
Mercy.
Only breath
Then waking
Inhale
Still here
Exhale
Still here
Mercy.
Only breath
Then tea
Inhale
Still here
Exhale
Still here
Mercy.
Only breath
Then shower
Hot water running
Over my face
Down my back
Between my toes
My body
Drenched in mercy.
