lips pressed, long drag
if it was anyone else,
I’d step aside, look away.
chest raises, you take another
my eyes see your interior -
smoke travels quickly…
breathe in, breathe out
why can I see the residue
in the cavity of your lungs?
lips pressed, chest raised
why am I the one
who feels light-headed?
I watch you fill your lungs with
the opposite of life,
and all I want is for yours to last longer
than mine.
