Breath of Heart

Breath of Heart

~a poem by Justin Palatsky


The exhale in the cold is the breath of the heart

releasing shivers through the world.

This ambient realm of the midnight winter

is where the soul’s steam finds solace

among the weary pioneers of love.                                        5

This liberation of pulmonary mist

transcends the frigid skin of space

like an ice-cold sheath of glacier

moving gradually across a tundra of passion.

Vaporized particles dispersed from within                            10

vanish steadily into the darkness

where two lovers share a grasp.

All seems lost but the heart deeply inhales

and everything starts over again.
