Puff.
Nicotine burns the body while smoke floods the air diffusing
in an orchestrated dance
Defying gravity, pushing higher, further, until it pollutes
the air
Filth.
But there is something there; you can trace out figurines
Like cloud spotting in fast motion… one form infusing into
the next
Watch the hoops form and break
into ballerina slipper
ribbons
Drag.
Repeat.
The smoke thickens into a hovering layer… the dance is
almost tribal now
Bursting with more energy from each exhale
Ash.
Repeat.
Saturated movement in a satiating state of completeness
A dark halo lingers concealing light
Final drag.
Exhale.
Burn out.
