A Noise Full of Deep

By A. J. Huffman

I am between.
Where breath ends
and air begins.

You cannot escape me.

I am in control

of everything.

Your life.

Your lips.

Your sin.

I know you.

I own you.

So let me in.

I will fill you

fuller than light.

But be careful

if I turn.

My other side

is a vacuum.

Sucking.

Sucking.

Sucking.

Until all you are.

Is gone.
