Cigarettes and a Gray Scarf

by Lucy Loves Not   Aug 30, 2005


The paper burns with a certain melody;

she makes suicide an art.

Inhale.

Perhaps her lungs are worn as is her face,

rings burned around her eyes.

A trail of gray dances around her,

smoke crawling from her nostrils.

The wind carries away her ash

and teases the gray scarf hang'd round her neck;

the frayed ends meet with a cloud's kiss.

She puffs again.

Perhaps it's the nicotine that makes her flash a yellow smile.
