Untitled (Free verse) by Carvaceous
She steps out
A winding wind sneaks through the closing door
I watch
through the wavering glass
she slips from her pocket a light
for the dry cig, sitting ever so precariously
yet balanced
I watch
Smoke spiral up from her unsmiling mouth
He steps up besides her and lights less precariously
Smoke curls from his lips
slipping past dead skin
hanging
I watch
Smoke lit by neon dissipate into the dark
I watch
He presses his mouth to hers
She crushes her cig underfoot
stepping back in
She brings with her a shivering chill
The smell of stale smoke
offered to the night
I cringe
