Snout

paleandfreckly

Snout

Dedicayed to Charly (Charlotte)  Evans

 

I wet my lips with the tip of my tongue

Pout them out subtly

I wrap my middle and index around the barrel

Light it up

Scratch my thumb every strike

A flame

It burns and smoke comes

Alas

Like a house on fire it’s lit

It’s ready

Inhale deeply like you’ve been drowning

Hold it

Hold it

Hold

It

Breathe in again slightly

Hold it

Exhale

Like a winter eve smoke appears

Light headed

Im no addict

Thats what an addict would say

I can’t quit

There’s nothing to quit

A pick me up

When im down

But no addiction burns here

Merely a snout
