It's a poem.

#SmallPoems #Poetry #Writing
#MastoPrompt 30 January 2026 - lung.

A screenshot of a poem. It reads as follows.

Air like a future hole yet to be dug.
Like dirt.
Something to be removed to make something else
that's really a nothing.
Down there tiny fingers
will sort the fine particles.
Sifting for stuff that sustains this semblance of life for seconds longer.
The way children wrestle
through mountains of waste.
Brown skin in sunshine on the TV. Cast-off-costumed
and risking burial beneath what's left
by our continued tidal abandonments.
Air like knowing it shouldn't be this way
and not knowing what to do about it.
Torsioned ache in my chest
from too much chocolate
and too many discarded plastic wrappers.
The bad guys don't die first
some of those kids will go before I do.
Some probably gone since the video was shot.
I want to breathe it all in
suck it deep and rough.
One lung for me and one for the world.
As if I could purify.
As if I could filter the long dark
to foam in my bleak blood
and cosset the shadows of what may be my soul
or just an emptiness the wind howls through
seeking what, exactly?
Atonement for a half billion wasted breaths
by the time I'm in the hole,
by the time I become the absence.
A shape in the world slowly swallowing
and leaking. A lung that has forgotten
how to be part
of a body.
