She herself was smoke,
Drawn down into the filter
City lights never seemed so
Lost.
Like embers of a dream she once had,
dusted away in a flash of neon.
She was the journey,
the goal and the after glow,
blown across fragments of shattered dreams.
Her mind was a darkened boulevard, her thoughts a lit cigarette.
