Cigarette dreams

Isaac Vyolet

It’s five in the afternoon, I have a cigarette in my hand

 

The wind whispers in my ear, sweet nothings 

Alongside the chimes

Are the Fae delivering your message?

 Have the winds answered my call?

 

I have a cigarette in my hand, it’s five oh five

 

The ashes fell on my pants

I look to my left, then i look to the sun, and all i hope for

I look to the right and see the ash and smoke, and ash

That i’d hoped i left behind

 

Its five oh seven, I have a cigarette in my hand, 

its almost done

Even though it feels as if it was just lit

Its almost gone

 

Its five eleven in the afternoon

I buried the cigarette i didn’t finish

My throat burns

Why did I want it?

If I knew it’d burn.



Maybe 

The burn Is,

what 

I wanted?...

 

Perhaps so.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Wrote this literally sitting on my porch reflecting on my life as of late, I've been through a lot in the last year alone, and I found myself smoking a cigarette after having a day off after a long week at work. i'm not sure if i'll post more but so far people like it. Happy Fall season everyone.
