To raise the ribs to dilate the chest to expand the lung to indraw the
air to enter the mouth to enter the lung.
He plays on a tendon, decentered, opening the lungs of his name.
Deluge. Unmoved by muscle, by act of will or without. By raising
hopes in a calm and elegant direction.

pair of bellows?
To thicken the space with reverberations rather than imprint the
sinewy force of pigment. To spur a feminine ending.
Rings under his eyes, clairvoyant. Otherwise unlit.
To raise the ribs to dilate the chest to expand the lung to indraw the
air to enter the mouth to enter the lung.
