smoke

i wrote a word… — (a substantive...),

and i placed it on a side of your soul;

i wrote another one, — (indispensable),

and i placed it on a side of your eyes;

i wrote the words, — (a snazzy name),

but got translated, — have a good life;

i wrote the words, — (smoke's specter);

was placed on one of my essence's sides;

i wrote the words, — (cigarette butts...),

and were placed on your feelings' side;

i wrote simply, — (unroll those words...),

and you took a new cigar and smoked it;

and metamorphosed yourself in my poem,

crayoned subtle by my habituated longings

[exactly as your songs reign inside me]
