Smoke Blurs My Eyes


Sun streams through venetian blinds

As I recline in my solitude.

The smoke blurs my eyes

And billows from my mouth

As I wait.

Someday, the sun may shine

Or a wind may gust, and my flames

Will set your heart on fire.

Now there is no sun, no wind

Just a smouldering ember

Clouding my existence, and

I sit here alone.

This is like the slow cremation

Of a human soul.
