• paisley bold cigarette
    an alley floor of stones manmade
    grass sprouts up and rings into vision like an over sensitive earpiece
    ponder unto this and something reborn delayed
    only beautiful edges cared to cascade, shake, dance, and perpetuate
    to delay is what when who and how we meant to partake
    one over abused already half smoked cigarette
    browned like, how tea might stain
    reveling for weeks in the same cobblestone garden
    catching frowns from the clouds and danger from this sky
    neighbor to repeated dog smiles, or was it a transgressing bark
    the sudden density of this repeating overwhelms complacent lungs
