breathe deep (how we overcome)

breathe deep, my darling

though the
_______sea is
______high and the
_______sun is
______low and the
night rises up to your neck

breathe deep through
sun-caked lips and
air-scorched lungs

breathe deep
these poison arrows
and blackened suns

breathe deep
the rotten hope
the way to overcome

i love how you use 'my darling'. the endearment adds something to the poem. tinging it with something almost bittersweet. you rock my socks.
