a lady lights a cigarette

a lady lights a cigarette

glowing red cherry

lips, puffing without

regret

a cigarette, burning

smoking, grey breathing

choking and

tap tap the

falling ashes

 

it is over with

a definitive flick —

a lady lights a cigarette

she can see her spirit

dancing in the smoke
