SMOKE, by                    
First Line: Like cigarette smoke
Last Line: Away.
Subject(s): Smoking; Weeds; Tobacco; Pipes; Cigars; Cigarettes


Like cigarette smoke
you are gone
I have no regrets
though easier written than spoken
while smoking the weed
I derived utmost pleasure

Each puff enhaled
as a kiss
a tender word
a gleeful laugh

Sensing the end
I should have
enhaled the last
deeply
but, fool,
assuming
I had
more coming
I threw
it
away.
