The smell of a cigarette The glow of the ashes The flick of such dust Fluttering down You saw me standing still as a tree standing beneath the parking lot's lamp. Panting. Sobbing. Illuminated by gold. You saw the scar. My scar. How did it get there? I see you thinking. But I hate that. "You know it's impolite to stare."

Staring Stranger
The smell of a cigarette The glow of the ashes The flick of such dust Fluttering down You saw me standing still as a tree standing beneath the parking lot's lamp. Panting. Sobbing. Illuminated by gold. You saw the scar. My scar. How did it get there? I see you thinking. But I hate that. "You know it's impolite to stare."
