Description
Soon enough, you will be nothing but unfinished dictums of ‘I remember when’ and
eventually the whispers and screams that taint my brain tissue with such ironic perfection
shall be washed clean, to the point where the only thing I can feel is
the breeze that irritates my hair follicles.
Because today, I feel everything and everything is so very much, and
I’m sorry I tried too hard to clarify.

I suck in second-hand smoke like sacred diction,
because it’s the only moment in time I will allow myself to recall the shade of your eyes. Just maybe, just once,
I want the taste of tobacco on my lips and the smell of flame
beneath my tongue as I close my eyes in sinful greed.
But I’m cowardly and fearful and what I fear is cancerous lungs and coughed-up blood.
So honey, don’t bother asking.

Soon enough, he will be nothing but a wisp of air in the background of photographs, and he will mean nothing to those who smile and applaud front stage.
