Asphyxiated

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Give me fresh air
That no one's breathed in
To speak words beyond compare
Not to start from the end to begin

Find me new space
Preferably far and clear
Free of any trace
Where no one's been near

Hard to explain how I feel
Without sounding suffocated
My symptom seems unreal
Imagining, I'm asphyxiated
