The Cigarette Dance

Click. Flame. Burn. Inhale. Pause.
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.
