Her Wildfire Addiction (Free verse) by molly
Her dirty fingers are magnets
to the slender Marlboros.
Her ashtray, full and black
as tall as a child's sandcastle.
When she sighs, she exhales
and the ashes fly
spreading across the carpet like
a wildfire of bees
attacking its prey without mercy.
She thinks she's in Heaven--
She thinks she's killing time--
She thinks there ain't a worry in the world--
When she's got her cigarettes.
Oh, Mama, Mama
Do you love your cigarettes more than me?
Oh, Mama, Mama
It's not only *you* you're killing.
