Breathless

Trapped inside
a flimsy balloon,
the boy’s breath
suffocates,
dying to tell the cold wind
his lonely secrets.

First shot at a Shadorma in the 3/5/3/3/7/5 syllable format.  Learnt about this format at Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie . Total fun! The two three-syllable lines in the middle are a big challenge!
