Droplets

Heat

Heat radiates 
through the gap 
separating our bodies... 
 
Penetrating 
and prickling 
my skin in waves of 
uninterrupted static 
through too-thin fabric. 

Warmth travels 
unabated as it seeps 
and spreads 
from your flesh 
up into my chest... 

My body now hot 
as I try to catch 
my breath.

Suffocation

My lungs stiffen 
as the air is 
snatched away. 
 
They lay stagnant... 
silently screaming 
together in unison... 
revoked of oxygen and 
desperate to expand. 

Relaxing in finality 
when hope is deemed useless... 
and the suffocation is 
too much to withstand.

Acrid

Pungent and 
lingering deep 
within the nose... 

Clinging to the room 
and the threads 
of my clothes. 

Seeping from the body, 
hot sweat, and 
stale breath... 

Drifts the sour 
acrid scents 
behind every death.
