Asphyxiation
For Heather Hubler's 'Unscramble' Challenge
Find myself stuck in a quiet phantasy
Driven by hypoxia, aphonia and anopia
The toxins syphon, as does the apathy
Virtuoso pianist hammers La campanella
Pathos begone, as I lie in my piosity
Syntax fails, satin covers just patella
Hoist me up above the (life)hoax, the noisy
Oaths forgotten in my gradual ataxia
Axis spinning, losing grip on sanity
As asphyxia takes, I leave this my sonata
