Breath in my face

 

Don’t do it

Don’t breathe your breath in my face

There’s a memory

 I can’t quite reach, 

 That my will cannot erase

Don’t do it don’t breathe your breath in my face

I shudder, I withdraw

I don’t know where I’ve been

I don’t know what I saw

So much that’s hidden  

Of what went on before

Don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it

So many shadows form

Shapes I can’t define

Fears that show me

Terrors enfold me

From another place,  

From another time

Don’t do it, don’t do it

Face

Trace

Taste

Misplaced

Distaste

Untraced

Don’t breathe, don’t breathe, don’t breathe

Your breathe in my face
