The Weight Of Suck

When the suck
envelops the evening,
suck back your breath
and hold on. 

If you fall
under the weight of suck,
suck in your gut
and hold still.

In the whistle
of the suck, listen
for the song
behind it.  Suck

lasts a long time
but at some point,
it will end.  Suck
is one end of a total breath.
