Cigarette love

Keep packing the sand

grains deep in my brain,

back it up and prepare

for war, cancer climbs

its way down my throat and

nestles in my lungs. Choke me

with your flypaper ideas and rip

off the collected dust on my face.

Abstract art, cigarette love.

Illusions and spiky throats can't

talk or communicate effectively

like a frog with a tongue ring, I

may hook on your lips if you try to kiss

me. sriracha detergent... spin cycle on tremble
