Really nice. I particularly like 'while time remains in the thickness of things' and 'could we give the gift could a gift be given' (which I originally read as 'could we give the gift a gift could be given').

shakuhachi breath while time remains in the thickness of things
thinking the flow of protesters, sound of sirens and horns,
following, the police following, anxiety but more peaceful night
occurrence, occurring, breathing as event
shakuhachi, gift and surplus of breath
could we give the gift could a gift be given
covid respirators, ventilators, strangled windpipes
broken glass and history littered ground we all floated into air
in the night air we all floated
in the night air breathed bamboo
