coughing up blood in the morning

[tectak]

Seems there's little use to me
in writing too much on it.

Bleak extracts of morning
ushered out of smoky lungs.

Exeunt via lips,
descend no lower than the ground.

Small metallic streaks of red
among the normal junk.

Mortality in mucus,
washed away by tears of clouds.

regardless of what else is going on "exeunt" is the wrong word. 1. there is some disagreement with your verb which makes it second person direction, 2. while literally it means leave the stage, as direction, most notably, it means "leave our story" which it does not as the very next line picks it back up.

Hi milo,
Not in agreement here. Note the full stop after "...out of smoky lungs" This is closure.
Next stanza is now free. Direction in sense of authority is implicit in " Exeunt via lips, (note this comma as seperator) descend no lower than the ground". Admittedly, one must ignore "whatever else is going on" but I think the stage direction nature of this one stanza is permissable poetically, if only as a device. Of course, whether or not it is intentionally so is a whole other bucket of winkles. ( to keep serge mystified)
Best,
tectak
