Anonymous - Atmosphere


Fog
My breathing is almost even
As I slowly inhale dew.
Condensation on the cool
Glass of my window.
I look outside.
 The grass is wet
And I put on my rain boots to play in the slosh.
You know that feeling of total absence?
That feeling is in the atmosphere
That thick and heavy fog.
