Tears of smoke
Tanja Taylor 1981 (Ontario)
In the darkness,
I watch my lighter spark,
as it imminates my face, I can't help but feel sullen disgrace.
My lips, suctioned so tightly!, to my pipe.
Cynosure aspersions I inhale until suffocation takes hold, the smoke epitomized a sheild ,
that kept my heart sealed..the oblivion became my home
...my tears dripped, full with smoke , but nothing changed.
The picture remained the same..who's to blame?
