Stolen glances
missing beats
those translucent
moments, porous
breaths evaporated
in cheap sooty puffs
of gas-station
cigarettes, lungs
choked of highway
psychedelics, motel
caffeine to measure
vaccant hours of
your casual neglect,
I measure from
puff to puff,
smoke to smoke
and make most of
those empty
hours, all while
gazing at your
sinful lips,
marveling the
arched Sicilian
nose where rests
that snobbish
indifference…
Absolutely love this! Well done!
