Asphyxiation

An acrostic poem

By Laura PruettPublished 3 years ago • Updated 23 days ago • 1 min read

Ever since the day I saw you

Come around the corner in the store

Like a sudden breeze, like the part of me

I never knew I had; even as our eyes met that fateful day,

Penetrating the depths of our souls in

Surprised wonder, I’ve been holding my breath, awaiting this endless

Eclipse
