ashes

I know I should quit smoking,

But sometimes I think

I see your face in the smoke.

I don't, though.

It looks like what it is.

But, I still think of you

When I see it.

 

I blame the namesake

Of my eventual death's

And your parents'

Cause and byproduct

(respectively, of course,)

On the correlation

Between "ashes,"

And, "Ashley."

 

Maybe there is no connection?

Maybe I was

Already thinking about you?

Like when you heard thunder,

And thought of me?

 

Regardless, time for

Another cigarette.
