take my hands with yellow stained fingers
hold them both in a grip so gentle
marvel at their size, the fact that they'll fit
(pull me closer, closer yet)
feel the pitter patter that my heartbeat emit

embrace me,
           conceal me,
                      cocoon me

in your smell, "lush" and smoke and inkwell,
i'll curl up in its familiarity as if it were catnip

                                            cig
                                               are
                                             tte

i'd like to think all of these things felt better
than hanging a cigarette from your loose lip
