Excerpts:


He is the Air I Breathe

He is the air I breath,
but today I nearly drowned.
I was dying inside,
flailing my arms, and
screaming within
because he was ashen,
and cold.
I was terrified, worried
that he wouldn't
be here to remind me to
breathe in and out. And, I
would be left alone
collecting shards
of our dreams as he slipped
away into eternity.

The Wall

Seventy-two glossy black panels, stand baking in the sun,
Stand freezing in the cold,
Stand erect.

Seventy-two glossy black panels, reveal their names,
Reveal their lives,
Reveal my face.

Seventy-two glossy black panels, void of laughter,
Void of merriment,
Void of life.

Seventy-two glossy black panels, change our homes,
Change our minds,
Change our lives.

Seventy-two glossy black panels…

-Susan Elliott
