Compressed breath

So. The celestial bodies are misaligned. The birds have flown. Abandoned the branches where they had grown. The wind has fallen silent, perhaps has migrated to a different sky. Unable to hold on to you, clasp you against my heaving ribs. I let go. Without a whimper. Yet your ghost lingers. Stubbornly. Compressed within my breaths.
