Cigarette Smoke:

Cold air and frosted ear tips

Dewed grass resting tired feet

Cigarette dangles from lazy lips

A haze of camp fire smog

Burning lungs

Six lost people fighting for nothing

Simply existing in that moment.

As the world spun

And the night gave way

To the pale colours framing the morning sky

Not speaking.

Not feeling much of anything.

Simply just being.

Cigarette smoke filling the air.

~J.K.M.

Burnt Carpet:

Laying face down on the floor

The world lingering just outside the door

But the shades are shut

And the carpet smells of

Something like failure

A scent I had forgot.

~J.K.M.
