The Magic Circle
Was gasping
For my last breath
My whole body
Was contracting
To strain
A little more
O-x-y-g-e-n
Out of air
So thick
Veins puffed up
With co2
Lungs almost collapsed
Muscles cramped
B-l-a-c-k o-u-t
Only memories
Moved about
Like little dots
Like fireflies
Over a dark canopy
Little drops of rain
On rose petals...
