Smoke leaves my lungs and crawls above the nostrils I call yours. Unsettled you walked away. Putting lip balm on your fingertips and touching your lips together. Smack, smack. You are essentially a goddess. Applying your balm and making me restless. You should be ashamed, but rather I am. And that’s the magic that you have.   The hold you’ve got on me is really more than magical. Now, you blow your smoke at me. I **** it in. I love the sour tang and the fact that it is yours. Hours float on by and memories forget to be made but you were always there. Puffing rings into my life. Puff, puff. That’s what we were. Rings of smoke, and anyone we passed could feel our putrid dissipation. And we stuck to the inside of cars. And we never quite left the curtains fresh either. And we made you all sick with cancer. And we had no idea.

Rings of Smoke
