nitepoem

smoke leaves my mouth
rises
curls around telephone and electric wires
reaching for the stars;
dissipates in the orange of the streetlight
as a truck drives by
stirring dried leaves,
rustling in on the asphalt
in the middle of the street.

Lost

Stuck somewhere between hyphy and hyperspace...
