11/22/20

lost in the smoke



wisp of a girl
thin, like a
four word sentence

and she’s messy
all the way down
to her untied sneakers

one foot smothering
a cigarette
into the ground

scanning the horizon
in slow motion
as she exhales

and then
as if answering a
question i never asked

she says, in a
voice of mixed calm
and frustration

  there are so many
  peaceful roads on earth

  i’m just trying to find
  one of them
