Cigarettes

Lethal White Stick

Sparked by one’s desire–to leave and be seen

Ash with regret

Passed memories burn through disintegrating whisps of smoke

Drags of Doubt

Smells linger–holding on to you for your last breath


The last time I looked at you: I let it drag like a cigarette.

The eye contact was pure and unbroken–like our past love.

Surrounding Me, Sinking Me–a moment in time

And like that I slowly began to turn away and I felt his eyes inhale the last summer cigarette.
