--My nose dribbles--

Darkness lifting, thickens 
with the rising sun Brown sky, orange sun, 
trouble breathing air 
that is visible. Bringing tears 
from my eyes.
My nose dribbles trying 
to save sinus passages 
filled with brown air.
Cough up bits of blood 
to much carbon monoxide
eats me alive.
Still summer air silent except for cars -- 
poison and heat waft through every crack
young, old disabled start to die.
With mask and goggles worn, I 
run place to place 
to save so few, 
		so few.
