Blowing Smoke
cigarette smoke is graceful
in the stark morning light
pooling and swirling around
eyes, mouth, nose, ears and fingers
playfully fan away the gesture
eyes open and a smile
we smile for the same reason
and my eyes fall in love
for the first time like the many
since the day i met you.
this day, this morning, these words
are ones i've never experienced
and knowing i'm not in this alone
is what makes it all worth my while.
